The Newcastle Law School will be holding a competition conference,  BIS Consultation on a Competition Regime for Growth: One Year On April 13, 2012 from 9:30 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.

This conference provides a forum for advancing debate and developing a deeper cross disciplinary understanding of the effectiveness of key aspects of the current UK competition law regime, and will critique the UK Government proposals for significant reform. The conference will engage leading experts in the field from diverse disciplinary and institutional perspectives in order to explore the rationale for the reforms and how best to ensure a strong and effective competition regime exists in the future.

There are over ten speakers and panelists scheduled to participate including Peter Freeman (Chair of the Competition Commission) and Professor William Kovacic (former Chairman of the US Federal Trade Commission).
