Leading competition professionals from around the world present reflections and forecasts on topical issues in antitrust and competition law and policy in this first volume of Women & Antitrust. Over a series of candid conversations, enforcers, in-house counsels, lawyers and academics take on questions regarding, among others, the following areas :

– assessment & regulation vis-à-vis digital platforms ;
– behavioural economics & competition policy ;
– public interest concerns, including privacy ;
– Brexit & its expected impact ;
– international cooperation ;
– policy and enforcement trends for 2020.

Nestled among the exchanges are insights into the professional paths of the women interviewed. Through personal anecdotes, they share perspectives on their chosen roles, if and how gender has informed their career choices, and offer advice to young practitioners interested in joining this field.

This volume has been published in cooperation with W@Competition. A second volume will be published in cooperation with Women’s Competition Network (WCN).

Congratulations on the important initiative and presentation of Women & Antitrust : Voices From the Field. Indeed, over the past years, we have seen the “glass ceiling” breaking with the increasing role of women in the global competition bar. This is noticeable not only in law firms, but also at the enforcement level, whether in Europe, the United States or in Asia. Some competition authorities are led by women – in the US, the EC, and France, among others. Many important agency positions are held by highly experienced women. In companies, competition departments of legal divisions have seen an increasing number of women taking leading roles. Similarly, at both the partner and associate levels of European, Asian and US law firms, a significant number of women are now practicing competition law.

Concurrences, in partnership with W@Competition, is taking an initiative by sharing the reflections and forecasts of the reality of this world. Again, congratulations.
