Chillin'Competition

Many of you have approached us in the past few months asking whether we had considered launching a podcast. Since it is a great idea, we thought we would give it a tentative go. Alfonso will be coming over to LSE Law School on 27st June (Thursday of next week). We will be starting the live podcast at 16.00 London time/17.00 Brussels time. The recording will be made available later.

Make sure you save the date! For this first live podcast, we will build our discussion around a forthcoming paper of mine, which deals with the notion of restriction by object (entitled ‘Restrictions by object under Article 101(1) TFEU: from dark art to administrable framework‘).

We have been talking about restrictions by object for the best part of two decades, and the time feels right to present, in a structured manner, the contributions made by the Court, including the clarifications provided in recent rulings like Superleague (if you were wondering, the paper concludes that the case law provides the basis for an analytical framework that is both administrable and predictable).

If you would like to join (online) the live Zoom seminar, feel free to register here. Once you register, you will receive an email that will allow you to access the livestream on the 27th.

I will be sharing the article in the coming days, so we can have a proper discussion during the Q&A. Do not hesitate to get in touch with any questions, comments or suggestions. We look forward to meeting many of you on the day (albeit virtually)!
