Google 15 Years On – Key Learnings, Antitrust Challenges, and the Road Ahead
2025 marks the 15th anniversary of DG COMP’s decision to launch an antitrust investigation into Google, leading to landmark cases such as Google Shopping and Google AdSense. Initially addressing (only) four allegations of abusive conduct, it soon expanded to what is known as Google Android and Google AdTech. This pioneering action has inspired further investigations globally, including in the United States and Asia. From an international perspective, few companies have faced the same scale of antitrust scrutiny.
Copenhagen Competition Law Lab, CBS LAW, GW Competition & Innovation Lab (European Initiative), and COMPASS LEXECON are hosting this event to reflect on the key lessons learned so far about Google, antitrust, and policing abusive actions in the tech sector.
GWU CIL Senior Fellows Christian Lundqvist and Jorge Padilla will be presenting at this event.
