An introduction to the economics of merger analysis

17 February 2026

RBB's Australia team invites competition lawyers to a programme of seminars which will provide an introduction to the basic economic principles that are applied to the assessment of mergers.

While lawyers with all levels of experience are welcome, lawyers with less competition law experience may find this seminar series particularly useful.

All sessions are free to attend and will be delivered in a hybrid format - allowing attendees to join in-person or online.
