Artificial intelligence is reshaping competition law. It is rapidly becoming an essential tool for regulators, law firms and in-house legal teams, while at the same time raising new competition concerns around algorithmic pricing, market power, and control of AI infrastructure.
Regulators including the CMA, European Commission and other global authorities are exploring AI to support investigations and assess competitive harm. Meanwhile, competition lawyers are deploying AI to analyse evidence, manage investigations, support litigation and navigate merger reviews more efficiently.
As AI becomes both a tool of practice and a subject of regulatory scrutiny, competition professionals must understand its implications from every angle.
In this Epiq webinar, presented in partnership with The Lawyer, a panel of leading competition practitioners and AI specialists will explore how AI is transforming investigations, litigation and merger control, and will discuss the practical, legal and ethical considerations shaping its use across the profession.
Who Should Attend?
In-house counsel, legal operations, compliance and risk professionals seeking to understand how AI is changing investigations, merger control and compliance, and what that means for governance, resourcing and risk management.
Law firm partners, associates and innovation leaders evaluating where AI delivers meaningful value in competition matters and how AI itself is becoming a focus of regulatory scrutiny and litigation.
Attendees will gain insight into:
- How competition regulators are using and evaluating AI.
- The impact of AI on investigations, litigation and merger control workflows.
- Emerging legal, practical and ethical considerations surrounding AI adoption.
- Best practices and lessons learned from early AI implementations.
