CompLaw: Advanced EU, Brussels is a premier conference dedicated to exploring the latest developments and challenges in European competition law. Organized by Informa Connect, this event brings together leading legal professionals, economists, and policymakers to discuss and analyze critical issues shaping the competition law landscape.
The conference covers a wide array of topics, including the Digital Markets Act (DMA), competition concerns in labor markets, sustainability and ESG considerations, private enforcement and follow-on damages, and lessons learned from recent cartel investigations. Sessions are designed to provide in-depth insights into these areas, offering practical perspectives and strategies for compliance and enforcement.
Attendees can benefit from structured networking opportunities, such as the CompLaw 1-1 Meetings program, which facilitates personalized connections between in-house counsel and private practice lawyers or economists. The event also features a digital event app, ConnectMe, allowing participants to access the agenda, speaker presentations, and engage with other attendees seamlessly.
This conference is ideal for legal practitioners, in-house counsel, economists, and regulators seeking to stay abreast of the evolving competition law environment in Europe. It offers a platform to gain expert knowledge, share experiences, and build professional networks essential for navigating the complexities of competition law.
