The ABA International Antitrust Law Committee has published a new January 2012 newsletter entitled: “Hot Topics”, with an article on the economic aspects of MOFCOM’s review of Seagate’s acquisition of Samsung’s hard disc drive business (see: China Highlights Economic Analysis in Decision Approving Seagate Acquisition of Samsung HDD Business). The Committee’s “Hot Topics” series allows practitioners to opine on recent developments in their jurisdiction.
About the ABA International Antirust Law Committee:
“The Committee is an international network of antitrust practitioners and officials from many jurisdictions, including those with established and developing antitrust regimes. We provide a unique forum for practitioners and others with an interest in antitrust to learn about antitrust developments around the world as they happen, influence international antitrust policy and laws, and connect with an interesting and fun group of professionals from all corners of the globe.
During this 2011-2012 ABA year, we plan to build on our platform of award winning programs, publications and policy initiatives we have pursued in prior years. Our Committee’s success would not be possible without the energy, inspiration and involvement of our members and we welcome new suggestions and innovative ideas. As a member of this Committee, you will enjoy the unique opportunity to build your own network of antitrust colleagues around the world. One of the best aspects of the Committee is that we always encourage new faces, ideas and contributions; you can quickly become an integral part of what we do.”
The International Antitrust Law Committee also publishes an active listserve, annual Year-in-Review and an Essentials of Merger Review project, an ongoing Committee project that provides an online resource for practitioners to learn the “essentials of merger review” in key antitrust jurisdictions around the world. The Committee has posted reports for 40 jurisdictions
The Committee also reports that it intends to turn its Essential of Merger Review project in to a hard-copy publication and is starting a similar on-line project for country-by-country information on cartel investigations.
The Committee will be holding its Spring Meeting in New York from April 17 to April 21.
