About the speakers

Professor Arianna Andreangeli holds a Personal Chair of Competition Law at Edinburgh Law School.

Dr Robert Lane is a Senior Lecturer in EU Law at Edinburgh Law School. His principal areas of interest lie within the various strands of EU law, including the constitutional and administrative law of the European Union, the law of the internal market and competition law.
