Leading competition professionals from around the world present reflections and forecasts on topical issues in antitrust and competition law and policy in this second volume of Women & Antitrust. Over a series of candid conversations, enforcers, in-house counsels, lawyers and academics take on questions about an extraordinary year, and discuss:
- policy priorities during and post the Covid-19 pandemic;
- sustainability initiatives and the European Green Deal;
- regulation of Big Tech;
- Brexit & its expected impact;
- international cooperation.
Nestled among the exchanges are insights into the professional paths of the women interviewed. Through personal anecdotes, they share perspectives on their chosen roles, if and how gender has informed their career choices, and offer advice to young practitioners interested in joining this field.
This volume has been published in cooperation with Women's Competition Network (WCN). Another volume was previously in cooperation with W@Competition.
