CLF Membership

The Competition Law Forum's strength lies in its membership, which is drawn from as wide a range of backgrounds as possible.

Members meet regularly (typically 6-7 times each year) to discuss areas requiring debate and analysis and, where appropriate, to develop views on issues of concern to governments and policy-makers. In doing so it also produces leading-edge applied research, analysis and recommendations on the content, methodologies and application of competition policy at all levels of governance - national, European and global.

With the impact of a Brexit, the Competition Law Forum provides a forum for academics and practitioners to debate competition law issues related to Brexit.

Benefits of Membership

Members have a direct influence on the agenda of the Forum and are invited to recommend topics for debate in the group. The Competition Law Forum shares the excellent reputation enjoyed by the British Institute of International & Comparative Law for independence, even handedness and academic rigour.

More specifically, members have:

  • the opportunity to participate in an independently run Forum that aims to influence competition law policy, and which provides an arena for ongoing and constructive debate with regulators and other decision-makers;
  • the opportunity to suggest research or other work to be carried out;
  • access to research carried out by the Forum Director and other staff;
  • an invitation to each quarterly Forum meeting and reduced rates to all BIICL organised conferences and workshops relating to competition policy; and
  • the opportunity to recommend guest speakers to be invited to meetings of the Forum. 

All Forum members also receive the following benefits: electronic access to the ICLQ; one free place per organisation at any standard BIICL evening event; and named forum representatives will also be eligible for BIICL member rate at other public Institute events.
