ELSA IE University

Thank you Christopher for your valuable insights! Our members are more than grateful for your guidance.

On behalf of ELSA IE, it is our absolute pleasure to congratulate our current ELSA IE President, Jade Toledano, on starting her new position as the ELSA Spain Secretary General, as of yesterday August 1st, 2024. Ms. Toledano was elected last April at the ELSA Spain National Council Meeting, hosted in Barcelona this past Spring. She will serve concurrently in both roles for the upcoming term, dedicating her time, commitment, and efforts to pushing ELSA IE and ELSA Spain to newer heights. This new chapter highlights her unwavering commitment to the values and goals of ELSA— we are very proud of Ms. Toledano and wish her a productive and successful term on the ELSA Spain Board of Directors, and wishing her the best as she leads our association this coming term.

It is with great pleasure and honor we announce the official commencement of the ELSA IE Board of Directors' term, today August 1st, 2024, lasting until the end of July 2025. As we enter the third session of our esteemed organization, we are overjoyed to have such a blend of experienced leaders and fresh faces guiding our organization for the following year. The individuals on the Board have demonstrated their unwavering commitment, exceptional capabilities, and innovative vision which will undoubtedly push ELSA IE to new adventures. On behalf of this new leadership team, led by Jade Toledano, Maksim Kudinov, & Louis Schmitz, we are excited about the direction that ELSA IE will take. Join us in extending our heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to our new board members as they embark on this journey. Together, we look forward to achieving a brighter tomorrow for ELSA IE.

Thrilled to announce that I've been accepted by the European Law Students Association (ELSA) for a summer Traineeship in Baku, Azerbaijan, with VLM and Partners! Very excited for this unique opportunity, and a chance to expand my (ELSA) horizons to ELSA Azerbaijan!

Dear Network, Today we are celebrating the 43rd Anniversary of the European Law Students' Association! Let's celebrate not only our success as an Association, but above all the people who make ELSA what it is. Over the past year, we have achieved a lot as a Network. We have worked together on the future of our association and further strengthened cohesion within the Network. Our projects are flourishing more and more and we are infinitely grateful to all participants and people who make these projects possible. Together, we make ELSA an Association that is fighting for a just world and we look forward to seeing what successes we will celebrate in the coming years. Happy Birthday, ELSA💙!

Thank you for joining us and contributing to such an interesting conversation!

🤺 The Digital Services Act package under the spotlight - the keys to effective compliance, the justification of regulatory intervention and the DMA's broader objectives. 🔜 Next Thursday, ELSA IE University will hold its European Union Law Conference at IE Law School. During an intense day, the conference meanders into the intricacies of both the DMA and the DSA at large to explore the legal balances stricken in the DMA and the DSA, the economic aspects of digital platforms and the challenges companies face in their implementation. On the note of my participation, I will contribute to the first panel to be held at 10 am, where we will discuss the Commission's current enforcement strategy in the DMA's interpretation and the gatekeeper's reactions to the compliance deadline. Pablo Solano Díaz moderates the first panel, and Pablo Velasco Sanzo and Katarzyna Sadrak will engage in the topical discussion. A panel dominated by officials from competition authorities, where I will pitch in with academic flair. Let's hope no network effects or switching costs turn against me, and the multi-homing of ideas crosscuts the discussion. The two remaining panels for the day bring together a great line-up of speakers coming from different backgrounds. I invite you all to join us by registering for the event (you'll find the details in the image below). P.S. A great shout-out goes to Maksim Kudinov for making (most of) it happen!

Today, I am beyond overjoyed to share a milestone in my life’s journey: I have been accepted with merit into the combined LLM / Juris Doctor program at the Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, starting Fall 2024! I'll be starting my journey at Northwestern University by completing the Master of Law (LLM) in my first year, followed by finishing the Doctor of Law (JD) in my second and third years. I owe this moment to the tireless support of my family, Jeff and Ashley Chilton, the constant encouragement from my friends, the invaluable guidance from my mentors (especially Eliza McNamara, Tana Greer, and Victoria Jaffer), and the inspiration from every professor, employer, and friend who helped along the way. Thank you, especially to those who assisted closely with my application; Soledad Atienza Becerril, Tim Lendino, César Álvarez Alonso, Jeffrey Foster, Ph.D. and Santiago Iniguez, your faith in me has been a cornerstone of this journey. To my future colleagues and professors at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law (such as my recent LEALS I professor, Joshua Alter, and current classmates Jorge Sanjuán Femenía and Sofia Bustamante), I am filled with excitement for the incredible experiences we will share. My time here at IE Law School has been filled with incredible memories, friends, and possibilities, and I couldn’t be more thankful to IE University for the opportunities I have been given. From establishing ELSA IE University to leading my class in Student Government, my memories here will forever be cherished. As I step into this significant chapter of my life, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and inspired to navigate the future. #NLawProud #ClassOf2027
