EU Competition Law Winter School 2021

The EU Competition Law Winter School 2021 was an intensive program designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of EU competition law. Organized by leading legal experts, the event offered multi-format sessions aimed at building and enhancing foundational knowledge in this field.

Key topics covered during the Winter School included significant developments across the EU and at the Member State level, strategies for managing multiple claims across jurisdictions, and the implications of collective litigation on exposure and strategy. A notable session titled 'Litigation Strategy: Coordinating Individual and Collective Claims Across Jurisdictions' was co-presented by Hausfeld Partner Lucy Rigby and Simon Latham of Augusta Ventures. This session delved into the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal process, compared it with other models, and discussed considerations related to litigation funding.

The event took place from December 6 to December 10, 2021, in Cambridge, running daily from 09:00 to 18:00 UTC. Attendees had the opportunity to engage with experts, participate in interactive sessions, and network with peers, enhancing both their theoretical knowledge and practical skills in EU competition law.

This Winter School was particularly beneficial for legal professionals, academics, and policymakers seeking to deepen their understanding of EU competition law and stay abreast of recent developments. The program's comprehensive approach and expert-led sessions made it a valuable experience for those involved in this dynamic area of law.
