Reviews / Votes
The book is a remarkable achievement; technical enough to be used by practitioners for "real-life" cases, while still sufficiently general to give one a sense of perspective. Antoine Winckler, Partner, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton An excellent text, providing all one needs on the main areas of competition law. The authors bring superb knowledge and insight into the subject. Howard Johnson, Professional Tutor, Cardiff UniversityMore details
