The European Competition Lawyers Association (ECLA) connects, unites and assembles dedicated competition lawyers in private practice as well as in in-house legal departments throughout Europe and beyond; regularly organizes specialized high level conferences on current topics, which are of relevance for the practice of competition law. The conferences allow its participants to discuss the newest developments and learn from experiences of their international colleagues; provides for networking events and social gatherings, which allow its participants not only to learn about cutting-edge legal developments, but also to meet old and new friends of competition law in a relaxed surrounding. ECLA is a non-profit and autonomous non-governmental organization. The membership in the European Competition Lawyers Association is open for all lawyers and economists with a strong interest in competition law developments. We welcome all lawyers and in-house counsels as well as legal and economic experts in specialized consulting firms to participate and become a supporting member of the European Competition Lawyers Association.
