The Competition Law Research Group serves as a vibrant hub for scholarly inquiry into competition law and policy in the United Kingdom, the European Union, and the United States, as well as the international dimensions of competition law, antitrust economics, and the use of regulation to address anticompetitive conduct.

Based in the University’s Faculty of Law and closely linked with the Oxford Centre for Competition Law and Policy (CCLP), the Group fosters interdisciplinary research on antitrust enforcement, regulatory design, digital markets, and the broader social and economic impacts of competition law across jurisdictions. In particular, it explores research themes relating to artificial intelligence (AI), competition and regulation; competition law and democracy networks; and empirical methods for evidence-based competition law. Through workshops, seminars, collaborative projects, and events, members engage in cutting-edge analysis of contemporary challenges, while contributing to public debate, policy development, and the training of the next generation of competition law specialists.

As part of the Group, the Competition Law and Policy Discussion Group is managed by Oxford’s DPhil and MPhil competition law research students, who organise joint sessions to debate and share ideas on competition policy and enforcement.
