Butterworths Competition Law Service

Butterworths Competition Law Service provides an in-depth commentary and analysis of competition case law and legislation in the EU and UK. Written by an expert editorial team in competition law, Butterworths Competition Law Service provides coverage of every facet of competition legislation in the EU and UK, from the substantive and procedural provisions of each system of legislation, to particular regimes that affect specific sectors. Each of the narrative divisions provides in-depth commentary and analysis of the case law and legislation in both the EU and UK, plus an invaluable collection of primary and secondary legislation. Widely relied upon by practitioners, the work adopts a practical, transaction-based approach with much of the text dealing with particular types of agreement or commercial behaviour in context. Together with extensive cross-referencing and comprehensive tables and index, this invaluable looseleaf work provides all the information that the busy practitioner is likely to need in day-to-day practice. Six looseleaf volumes, five services issues approx. per year (invoiced separately on publication).
