The next gathering of the Scottish Competition Law Forum will take place on the evening of 27 July. The focus of the summer meeting will be state aid.

On the night, the Forum will be joined by Robert Hankin, Head of the Regional Aid Unit at the European Commission and Sheena Brown, Head of the State Aid Unit at the Scottish Executive. We will also be hearing from Lindsay Gardiner who is working on the OFT consultation on subsidies.

State aid is a topic of significance to the public and private sectors alike in Scotland and the evening represents an excellent opportunity to ask questions and engage in debate.

If you have specific points that you would like the speakers to touch upon, please do let us know. This will give us the ability to tailor the event to address the specific concerns you might have in relation to the state aid regime and will give the event its customary Scottish flavour. As always there will also be an opportunity to ask questions and raise points on the evening.

Registration is at 17.30 and the meeting will be starting at 18.00. The evening will conclude with a drinks reception at approximately 20.00.

The meeting is hosted by the Faculty of Advocates and the details are as follows:

Venue: The Mackenzie Building, Old Assembly Close, 172 High Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1QX.

Time: Registration at 17.30, with the meeting commencing at 18.00.
