Research
Centre of European Law
Founded in 1974, The Centre of European Law (CEL) is one of the oldest research centres of its kind. We are known around the world as research leaders in European law – a role that is even more crucial in the current political climate.
Regulating Economic Markets at King’s
Our expertise includes: the law, economics, and politics of competition policy and economic regulation in the EU, UK, US, and elsewhere. As researchers we are interested in a broad array of competition and regulatory issues. Our work aims to encourage reflection upon how certain provisions should and do operate, as well as fundamental reinterpretations of the way whole regimes should operate.
