Description

Thinking about legal internships? Don’t know if you should explore disputes and transactional work further? Why not do a bit of both? Have you considered exploring competition law as a practice area?

The EW Barker Centre for Law & Business is hosting a panel discussion on competition law practice in Singapore to raise awareness amongst NUS law students about the career opportunities they can pursue in the field of competition law. Join us for an introduction to the world of cartels, monopolistic abuses and merger regulation – to see if this unique area of legal practice is something you should try out before finalising your post-law-school professional training plans.

To illustrate the interesting range of legal issues associated with this area of law, competition law experts from both the public and private sector will engage in a panel discussion on the following issues:

• How is competition law relevant to the regulation of e-commerce platforms?
• Does competition law prohibit the following forms of restrictive market conduct:
• Exclusive selling arrangements imposed on platform users
• Restrictions on platform users prohibiting use of alternative payment channels
• Self-preferential conduct by platform operators that also compete in downstream markets
