Asters' partner Igor Svechkar attended the 14th Annual Competition Conference

Florence, 17-18 September 2010, Asters' partner Igor Svechkar attended the 14th Annual Competition Conference. Antitrust and commercial lawyers in private practice, in-house counsel, enforcement officials and academics involved in antitrust and trade law participated in the event.

The Annual Competition Conference was organized by the IBA Antitrust Committee and supported by the IBA European Regional Forum. This year's topics of the conference included current substantive and procedural issues in the context of cartel investigations, Internet competition issues, and antitrust issues in standard-setting.

Igor Svechkar commented: "This year's annual conference has again attracted the most respected competition law practitioners and enforcers. It was an excellent knowledge-sharing event also offering a good networking opportunity. Quite a few speeches were extremely impressive like an interview with Bo Vesterdorf, former President of the European Court of First Instance, one of those lawyers who have shaped European competition law".
