Chillin'Competition

LSE Law School is proud to announce its 12th May conference, which will bring together top officials and academics to discuss the future of competition law and regulation. You can check the programme, with all confirmed speakers, below.

Registration (for free) is open here. The event will take place in the venerable Old Theatre (at the heart of the LSE campus) and we will continue the conversation over lunch and drinks at the no less venerable Shaw Library. If you have any questions about it, please get in touch. You can also reach my colleagues via law.events@lse.ac.uk.
