Global Antitrust Enforcement Index 2024
Global antitrust enforcement has rocketed post-pandemic, with steep rises in investigations, dawn raids and fines in recent years.
But enforcement priorities have shifted. The last few years have seen considerable changes in the sectors and areas investigated, not to mention how antitrust investigations are conducted.
Our 2024 publication breaks down the impact of this on companies (including penalty types, the role of leniency and the risk of private enforcement). It distills five key trends, based on the experience of our market-leading practices in Asia, Europe and the US, to help companies protect their business and respond to new risk areas.

Competition authorities are slowly adjusting their rules to keep pace with on-line consumer rights, with businesses facing more guidance and consistency in their activities. In 2022 we anticipate agencies will start deciding on policy changes and putting them into practice. However, it’s still unclear how far-reaching (and useful) the changes will be for businesses considering collaborative sustainability initiatives with competitors.

Episode 3: Antitrust & Foreign Investment Outlook for 2022
As the world ‘builds back better’ from the pandemic, there has been a renewed push to ensure that markets function effectively. As a result, the lockdown-induced slowdown in enforcement activity has already come to an abrupt end. The tech sector in particular is under pressure, and it is a truth universally acknowledged that a tech giant must be in want of regulation. So reads the hymn sheet for 2022 for virtually every major antitrust authority, who consider them “largely unconstrained” by competition.

Episode 2: Antitrust & Foreign Investment Outlook for 2022
Deal making is facing new uncertainties, as acquisitions that can be perceived as stifling future competition are increasingly called-in for merger review, even in the absence of compulsory notifications. Regulators are reacting to a debate on alleged “underenforcement” – in particular, those known as ‘killer acquisitions’. In jurisdictions with a mandatory turnover threshold regime, residual call-in rights are seen as part of the solution to bridge the enforcement gap.
