2009 Antitrust Year in Review

The past decade has witnessed dramatic growth in the global breadth and scope of the practice of competition law. There are currently more than 100 countries with significant competition legislation and that number seems to be increasing every year. Many nations, including India, Russia, China, Greece and others, are making or proposing major amendments to their competition laws.

The goal of the International Antitrust Law Committee is to reflect and promote this globalization trend. The Committee is comprised of members from around the world, making up an international network of competition/antitrust practitioners and government officials. We take a leading role in policy development, frequently providing comments and input to assist competition agencies and government officials worldwide in the formulation and enforcement of their competition laws.
