Together with Or Brook we launch a new format "Competition Exchange". Its idea is to have an open, nuanced & rivalrous (but ultimately amicable) discussion on a hot issue in competition law. Two remarkable guests are opening it.

Very interesting. Much confirmed by my experience, but not everything. Extremely rare for Commission competition litigators to go directly to private practice. They must be happy, I guess. “Isolation” of competition law from other areas of law is certainly increasing.
