But we do bring different perspectives, experience, and expertise to the table,...Read More

Competition authorities should kill it, here are the ten forty commandments on how to process (on how they do… sometimes?). We don’t really know how innovation is created anyway, it emerges, it’s mysterious. But we do...Read More

Chers lecteurs, je suis heureux d’introduire la première “Grande Consultation” de droit de la concurrence.
