UK competition law enforcement: decoding the CMA and CAT's decisions

Is the CMA increasingly focusing on a specific type of infringement?
Are the nature of allegations getting more sophisticated?
How are theories of harm evolving?
Are there trends that indicate the levels of fines that businesses can expect to face?
What remedies are being favoured by the CMA for different types of infringements?
 
Want to know the answer to these questions, and more?
 
Please join us on Wednesday 25 September for the launch of CMS’s data-driven research report into competition law enforcement at UK competition law enforcement: decoding the CMA and CAT's decisions.
 
The CMS Competition group has completed a rigorous analysis on competition enforcement in the UK, analysing the CMA’s competition law investigations and CAT appeals since 1998. Our study uncovers patterns and trends that are shaping the landscape of competition law.
 
We are delighted to be joined by Jessica Radke (Deputy General Counsel at the CMA), Niamh McCarthy (Head of Competition Law, International Airlines Group) and Sarah Ford KC in a series of panel discussions.
