Conference overview
Dominant Companies
How can powerful companies be kept reined in as they develop and adjust their competitive strategies?
Criminality
Regulators are getting ever tougher enforcement powers, and competition law violations are turning into criminal offences. Will extradition, jail sentences and personal fines make a difference?
Mergers
What is the impact of the growing move amongst regulators to cooperate in finding pragmatic remedies which involve behavioural commitments rather than simply requiring divestitures?
Sector Regulation
What will be the results of the current extensive inquiries into the financial services and energy sectors?
