SQE Plus Competition Law

Competition Law is a practical guide to the competition regimes in the United Kingdom and the European Union, and it provides a short introduction to United States anti-trust law. It focuses on the issues that are most relevant to many of the international law firms practising in London, major commercial law firms and the in-house legal departments of large corporations. The book covers the competition law prohibitions on anti-competitive agreements and the abuse of a dominant position, including enforcement action such as dawn raids and competition litigation. It also covers the rules relating to merger control in the European Union and in the United Kingdom.

This edition has been updated to cover the new EU and UK block exemptions for vertical agreements.

Beatrice Roxburgh formerly practised EU and UK competition law at Linklaters LLP and in-house at BT Group plc and is a Teaching Fellow at the University of Law.

This new 2024 edition of The University of Law SQE Plus manuals has been revised to bring the law and procedure up to date as at 1 September 2023.

This book is part of a series of study manuals that have been specially designed to cover content for students studying Key Practice Areas on the LLM Legal Practice (SQE1&2). Published and updated regularly, these user-friendly study manuals are designed to help you successfully acquire knowledge and understanding of the foundational law of England & Wales.  This book can be used for the Competition Key Practice Area as part of the Commercial Pathway of the SQE Plus.

Each title is designed to operate as a study manual, rather than solely a textbook. This means that understanding of the subject is developed using worked examples and activities. 
For students only at The University of Law, the study manuals are used alongside other learning resources to prepare students not only for achievement of an academic qualification, but also for a future life in professional legal practice.
