Trends and Developments in Global Competition Law

This conference offers a unique forum for exchanging ideas and discussing recent developments in competition law across the globe. It brings together leading figures in the field from around the world including judges, competition officials, academics, in-house counsel and private practitioners. The conference combines the policy perspective of the London-based Interdisciplinary Centre for Competition Law and Policy (ICC) with the real world experience of the international law firm of Crowell & Moring LLP.

This will be a one-day event, with three major areas of focus: international merger control; perspectives on public enforcement; and private enforcement. The aim on this occasion is to bring to the audience a comprehensive update of recent developments related to these topics which will be presented in an analytical and thought-provoking way by a high-level panel of speakers from around the globe. All of the topics will be illustrated by practical examples drawn from recent cases taken from the EU, US and other competition law regimes.

Wm. Randolph Smith is one the Conference Chairmen and will be giving the introduction and welcome. Rob Murray will be one of speakers addressing "Private Enforcement: Current Issues" and Kent Gardiner is the Chair on the topic of "Private Enforcement: Practical Solutions."
