Chillin'Competition

The rentrée has finally caught up with us, and with it, conferences and other events. I am delighted to announce that, on 22nd September, LSE Law School will be organising an afternoon panel (5pm-7pm) on (EU and UK) Subsidies Regulation. The event will take place in the New Academic Building (Thai Theatre). Please make sure to save the date!

We will be offering the event in hybrid format, but we very much hope you will be able to join us in person for the occasion (as a plus, there will be drinks afterwards).

With the UK Subsidy Control Regime up and running (the Competition and Markets Authority has recently been consulting on the implementation of the system) and the formal adoption of the EU Foreigns Subsidies Regulation around the corner, the timing could not be better. Coincidentally, the new edition of Conor Quigley’s legendary treatise on State aid will be coming out on the very same day.

I am delighted to confirm the superstar panel of experts with whom we will be discussing these topics:

Claire Froitzheim, Director at the Competition and Markets Authority

Natura Gracia, Partner at Linklaters

Thorsten Käseberg, Head of Competition Policy at the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action

Conor Quigley QC, Barrister at Serle Court

I will soon be following up with details on registration (for free, as usual) and others. In the meantime, do not hesitate to drop me a line if you have any questions about the event. We look forward to seeing many of you there!
