On 21 April 2016, our partner Ms. Heidi Chui attended 5th Annual Global Competition Law Summit held by Wolters Kluwer. Practitioners and experts working in the field of competition law, including Ms. Rose Webb, the Chief Executive Officer of the Competition Commission, joined as speakers in the Summit.
As competition law is a new piece of law in Hong Kong, its enforcement and practical experience in other jurisdictions are invaluable to legal practitioners here in Hong Kong. In the Summit, therefore, the implementation of competition law in other jurisdictions, such as mainland China, the European Union and Japan, was explored. Given the increasing development of cross-border transactions between Hong Kong and mainland China, weight has been put on China’s competition law in the Summit such that topics like “Cartels and other antitrust investigation in China” were particularly covered. Other competition law concepts such as resale price maintenance (“RPM”) were elaborated. Some new cases in competition law around the globe were also discussed, so that the participants of the Summit can get the up-to-dated information on the recent development of this area of law.
Please contact our Ms. Heidi Chui for any enquiries or further information about this event.
