The event will feature seven key sessions, with a focus on recent cases and decisions, advancements in litigation strategies, dominance in various sectors, and the critical role of expert witnesses. Additional discussions will cover the regulatory landscape, including insights into the Digital Markets Competition and Consumer Act (DMCC) and the Digital Markets Unit. Prominent issues anticipated for 2025, such as mergers and subsidies, will also be examined. The event will conclude with the global outlook and a keynote address by Ian Forrester, a former UK General Court judge and current judge at the Competition Appeal Tribunal.
