GCR Live: Competition litigation 2025
On October 7 2025, Global Competition Review will host its annual GCR Live: Competition Litigation conference, jointly chaired by Hausfeld London Managing Partner, Nicola Boyle and Emma Probyn of Freshfields. Additionally, Hausfeld’s Partner, Lesley Hannah will be taking part in a live debate on collection actions.
The conference will take a deep dive into recent developments in UK competition litigation, providing a unique opportunity to connect with and learn from like-minded individuals through various panel formats and purpose-built networking sessions.
Lesley Hannah will take part in a live debate alongside Sarah Abram KC from Brick Court Chambers, Rosie Ioannau from Fortress Investment, Seema Kennedy from Fair Civil Justice, Sam from Charles River Associates and Walter Merricks a Class Representative, on the motion "Do collective actions provide access to justice?".
In Oxford Union style, we will hear teams of debaters argue in favour of, or against, a motion. The facilitator, Sarah Abram KC, will act as a judge voicing their opinions on what has been heard. The audience will have the deciding vote for or against, via a live poll.
Practical information
The event will take place on October 7, at Herbert Smith Freehills, London.
