Robinson, a regular speaker and panellist at our events, specialises in EU and UK competition law across all sectors. His work covers international merger control for mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures; distribution and licensing arrangements; restrictive agreements/abuse of dominance; competition compliance; state aid; sanctions; economic regulation of certain industry sectors, in particular aviation, transport, energy and utilities.

In our first of three interviews, Robinson will provide insightful views on the UK Brexit referendum and what it means for air service agreements and future connectivity to and from the UK.

But the others topics we will explore in the subsequent interviews will be decided by you… the Routesonline community.

LET US KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT!

We have selected six options:
