Competition Litigation & Collective Actions in the UK - Key Trends & More

Introduction

The past few years have seen a transformation of the competition litigation landscape in the UK. Private enforcement of competition law, through individual and collective actions, has surged. This has important implications for how businesses approach competition law risk, and how businesses and consumers use competition law to seek redress.

This webinar will explain the state-of-play in UK competition litigation and collective actions, explaining what matters when bringing or defending a competition claim, the practical strategies adopted by claimants and defendants in these claims, and trends in competition litigation that will impact how claims are brought in the future. In particular, the webinar highlights the growth of competition collective actions, which present novel issues for lawyers and litigants, as a key feature shaping competition litigation in the UK.

The webinar is aimed at private practice and in-house lawyers and business executives involved in assessing competition law risk. It is suitable for anyone with some background knowledge of competition law and/or litigation.
