Description
Book SynopsisPrivate Enforcement of Antitrust Law in the United States is a comprehensive Handbook, providing a detailed, step-by-step examination of the private enforcement process, as illuminated by many of the countryâs leading practitioners, experts, and scholars.
Trade Review’The 2012 Handbook is one of the most practical and strategic looks at the formulation and conduct of private treble litigation available. It is practically unique in going beyond the substance of the antitrust law and giving the reader a peek behind the curtain as to how private antitrust litigation actually functions. It will prove to be of great value to students and practitioners, both inside and outside the United States, who want to understand what really occurs in and outside the courtroom.’ -- --World Competition: Law and Economics Review
