Freshfields has published an interesting review of global antitrust trends for 2012 entitled Global antitrust in 2012: 10 key themes.

This rather fine Freshfields article discusses the following 10 trends for 2012:

1.  Cartels: cracking down on anti-competitive information exchange.

2.  More aggressive investigation techniques.

3.  Focus on supply and distribution networks.

4.  Consumer action: a growing threat of private claims and class actions.

5.  Cross-border M&A: going beyond traditional competition rules.

6.  The challenges of rapidly developing industries.

7.  Antitrust scrutiny of financial services.

8.  Single-firm conduct in a global market-place.

9.  Asia: active enforcement by rapidly developing regimes.

10.  Protection of human rights in antitrust cases.
