Competition Inspections in 25 Jurisdictions 2nd Edition: A Practitioner’s Guide

In this second edition of the acclaimed “Competition Inspections in 21 Jurisdictions”, Nathalie Jalabert-Doury brings together distinguished practitioners from around the world to provide an in-depth analysis of the legal and practical aspects of competition inspections across 25 major jurisdictions. Each country chapter comprises a series of questions and answers outlining the legal basis and scope of powers under relevant local legislation, the key stages of a dawn raid, the rights and obligations of a company subject to an inspection, and the prospects of judicial review. Illuminated by the expertise of the authors, the chapters outline steps which should be taken to ensure that a company facing an inspection may respond in an efficient manner while minimising legal risk. The book is a necessary and essential guide for both in-house and outside counsel to ensure that an effective internal response strategy is put in place before being confronted with an inspection.
