Join us this December for an evening of competition law insights and networking with Richard Whish, Emeritus Professor at King’s College London. You’ll hear expert analysis of the key EU and UK competition law cases and developments of 2026 and connect with colleagues from across the profession over seasonal refreshments.
This December, Professor Richard Whish returns to the Law Society to provide his unrivalled overview of developments in competition law over the past year.
He’ll unpack recent decisions, legislative updates, and case outcomes – offering practical insights for practitioners, academics, and other professionals interested in competition law and policy across the UK, EU, and beyond.
Last year, Professor Whish explored public enforcement decisions by the European Commission and the CMA, before looking at private enforcement in the Competition Appeals Tribunal. For more details on what to expect, Section members can explore last year’s presentation slides and handout.
The seminar will be followed by a reception, giving you the chance to relax and network with colleagues from across the competition law profession.
