Competition Law

Prof. Michal S. Gal

This course examines the foundations and application of competition law (formerly antitrust law), which governs how firms may compete within a free market. Emphasis is placed on the Israeli legal framework, with comparative references to global practices.

Key topics include the economic rationale for market regulation, abuse of market power, merger control, joint ventures, cartel prevention, and price discrimination. The course combines legal theory with practical analysis, offering tools to assess how competition law promotes market efficiency and consumer welfare.
