IEL Competition Law

The law of competition has become increasingly important as markets overcome national and continental boundaries and many economic sectors tend to concentrate on oligopoly structures. Moreover, the international dimension of many industries often requires commercial lawyers to consider the antitrust implications of deals and M&A operations in several jurisdictions at the same time.

Each of these volumes provides detailed practical information and guidance on such issues and topics as the following:

• sources of antitrust law;
• scope of application;
• tests of illegality;
• restrictive agreements;
• merger control;
• administrative investigations;
• enforcement; and
• challenging the administrative decision.

Lawyers representing parties in any country covered by a monograph will welcome a very useful guide to competition law and practice in that jurisdiction, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative commercial and economic law.
