Experience

Antitrust/Competition

At Hausfeld, she is part of the legal teams:

Bringing claims before the Amsterdam District Court for European truck purchasers allegedly harmed by the prominent Trucks cartel, representing over 3,000 clients across Europe.
Representing an opt-out collective action filed on behalf of UK publishers of websites and apps against tech giant Google in the UK’s Competition Appeal Tribunal. The claim alleges that Google has infringed competition law in the online display advertising market where over 200,000 websites and apps have lost out on ad revenue, and could therefore collectively receive an estimated £3.4bn in damages.
Filing a representative collective action with the CAT on behalf of the UK Consumers’ Association (known as Which?) against Qualcomm on behalf of a class of around 29 million UK consumers alleging that Qualcomm abused its dominance in the markets for smartphone chipsets and standard essential patents. This included representing Which? at trial and through its settlement with Qualcomm, and the parties’ application for a Collective Settlement Approval Order before the Competition Appeal Tribunal. The Settlement was approved, subject to certain amendments, at a hearing which took place on 18 May 2026.

Before Hausfeld, Emelyne was part of the legal teams:

Representing 100+ public authorities and a group of multinationals pursuing claims against members of the Trucks Cartel.
Representing a large international independent ATM deployer in a standalone competition claim against Visa and Mastercard.
