Profile

Eyad Maher Dabbah holds the Chair in Competition Law and Policy. He joined Queen Mary University of London in October 2001. Prior to that he was a lecturer in law at King's College, University of London where he taught EU competition law on the LLM programme and EU law, property law, trusts law and business tenancies on the LLB programme. Eyad specialises in the field of antitrust and competition. He has published widely in this field and is the author of several books dealing with national, regional and global competition law and policy. He is also the editor of two major works in the field: Merger Control Worldwide (with Paul Lasok QC) and Anti-cartel Enforcement Worldwide (with Professor Barry Hawk). Eyad is a frequent speaker and chairman at competition law conferences and events, and has taught competition law in many places around the world. He acts as special counsel and consultant to several governments, international organisations and business firms. Eyad has handled a number of high-profile competition law matters before competition authorities around the world as well as in arbitration proceedings. Some of the cases handled by Eyad have been the first of their kind in some jurisdictions.

Between 2006 and 2018, Eyad served as the General Editor (with Barry Hawk) for the Antitrust and Competition Series at Cambridge University Press. Eyad was called to the Bar in England and Wales. He is the recipient of a Harmsworth Major Scholarship.

At Queen Mary University of London, Eyad is the course leader of LLM EU Competition Law (also by distance learning), LLM International and Comparative Competition Law (also by distance learning), LLM International Merger Control (also by distance learning) and LLB Competition Law. He is the founder and Director of the Institute for Competition and Consumers (ICC) (formerly, the Interdisciplinary Centre for Competition Law and Policy). He previously served as director of the School of Law LLM programme (between 2002-2005 and between 2014-2017). Eyad was the leading architect behind coining the name ‘School of Law’. His work as LLM Director between 2002-2005 brought the Department of Law (DoL) and the Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS) closer together and he was able to convert the LLM programme into a School of Law programme.

Beyond competition law, Eyad has strong expertise in trade disputes and anti-dumping. During the past decade, Eyad handled a number of high-profile anti-dumping cases. He served as the chairman of the anti-dumping tribunal of the Government of Israel between 2012 – 2017.

Outside law, Eyad takes particular interest in the Middle East, especially Middle Eastern politics and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He has had various involvements on these fronts over the years and used to be active in the Middle-East peace process many years ago, especially when he served as head of the Union of Israeli Students in the United Kingdom, an organisation of which he was the first and only Arab to be voted and appointed Chairman. He is the author of the book, A Promising Middle East (2014) which deals with issues of major importance for the Middle East region - notably, education, ideology, political leadership, race and religion, culture, democracy and peace.

Eyad has particular expertise in the following areas of competition law:

International and comparative aspects

Eyad is widely regarded as a leading expert and scholar in the area of international and comparative competition law. He has published extremely extensively in this area and is the author of one of the leading sources, International and Comparative Competition Law (Cambridge, 2010). He is also the author of The Internationalisation of Antitrust Policy (Cambridge, 2003) which is the first competition law book to be translated into Chinese worldwide. Eyad has been a strong advocate of building international strategies in the field of competition law. He has also written and advised on almost all competition law regimes around the world, making him, thus, a prominent figure when comparing between competition laws of different jurisdictions. His advice is often sought by businesses and governments on cross-border competition issues where a comparative perspective is highly valued by these entities for the purposes of solving complex issues.

Brexit and competition law

Eyad has been extensively involved in the Brexit debate in the field of competition law since the 2016 EU Referendum. He has written a number of contributions on the topic which analyse the future role and place of the UK competition law regime internationally, the future relationship between the UK and EU competition law regimes and the future directions of domestic competition law enforcement in the UK. Eyad appeared before the House of Lords European Union Committee when he was invited to give evidence on the topic of Brexit. His advice has been sought by many politicians and businesses on the Brexit competition law implications within the UK, the EU and the USA.

Competition law and policy in the Middle East

Eyad is the author of the first and sole book dealing with Competition Law and Policy in the Middle East (Cambridge, 2007), an area in relation to which Eyad is regarded as the leading authority in the field of competition law. The book deals with competition law and competition policy in all Middle Eastern countries and it explores the relevant regional elements of competition law in this unique part of the world.

Eyad has handled a number of high-profile matters dealing with competition law in different Middle Eastern jurisdictions. This includes acting as special counsel in major cases as well as advising governments in the region.

In 2009, Eyad launched the ICC Middle East Initiative which aimed at promoting competition law and policy within the Middle East. Eyad’s work has led to a number of concrete results including the establishment of academic research centres in Turkey (Bilgi University competition law research centre - Rekabet Hukuku ve Politikası Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (“RHM”)) and in Israel (The Centre for Competition Law which later became The Heth Academic Centre for Research of Competition and Regulation).

Developing and emerging economies

In relation to developing and emerging economies, Eyad has devoted a considerable part of his energy and focus to promoting competition and building and advancing competition law regimes in these economies. He has advised a number of governments around the developing world in relation to their competition policy and law. This has included conducting appraisal and reviews of competition law regimes in developing economies as well as drafting competition legislation. In addition to providing advice to governments, Eyad has also acted as consultant to international organisations in this area including to the World Bank, the International Development Law Organisation and the OECD.

Eyad has written a number of key texts dealing with developing and emerging economies.

Eyad’s work in relation to emerging economies covers procedural and enforcement matters as well as substantive law, notably abuse of dominance and monopolies, mergers and cartels.

Merger control

Eyad has been very active in the area of merger control, both as an author and consultant. He has particular interest in cross-border elements of merger issues at both policy and practical levels. In 2011, he acted as a consultant to the OECD on a project dealing with cross-border merger control in emerging economies. In recent years, he has handled highly delicate merger matters involving the US and the EU. Often, Eyad answers  complex merger control questions notably with regard to: how should conglomerate mergers be appraised; bilateral cooperation between competition authorities (especially in terms of exchange of business confidential information); government involvement and national champions; and building business strategies on the issue of ‘remedies’ in merger cases requiring multiple filings around the world.    

Cartel enforcement

Other than being a co-editor of Anti-Cartel Enforcement Worldwide, Eyad has advised on anti-cartel measures in different jurisdictions around the world. One of the areas on which he has focused in his work is leniency programmes, in terms of formulating and building new leniency programmes in emerging economies as well as revising existing leniency programmes in advance and young competition law regimes alike in order to render them more effective and more suitable to the relevant regime.   

Training and compliance

Eyad has been involved in the training of government officials, judges, lawyers and economists from over sixty countries in the field of competition law. He has conducted competition law training and delivered lectures at the highest level worldwide including lectures and training to the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) and key international bodies, such as the International Development Law Organisation (IDLO). He has also conducted training to judges in EU member states on behalf of the EU as well as training to UK High Court (Chancery Division) judges. His training to judges has covered principally EU and UK competition law.

In the area of corporate compliance, Eyad’s work has focused on building advance, cross-border and tailor-specific compliance programmes especially for multinational businesses involved in different competition law regimes.
