HANEFELD's Hamburg based Senior Associate Dr. Dirk Wiegandt's recent article in ZWeR

HANEFELD's Hamburg based Senior Associate Dr. Dirk Wiegandt has authored an article on the relationship between antitrust law and arbitration for the most recent edition of the Journal of Competition Law (ZWeR - Zeitschrift für Wettbewerbsrecht). The article looks at three different ways by which the relationship between public-interest antitrust laws and private arbitration can be designed: (1) arbitrability, (2) ex post control of arbitral awards, and (3) ex ante control of arbitration agreements. In doing so, the article takes up the recent debate on how arbitration agreements must be phrased in order to cover antitrust damages claims.
