Intel was fined US$1.45 billion by EU antitrust authorities in early May for allegedly abusing its dominance of the microchip market. As the company appeals the decision, China Law & Practice speaks with Jim Jeffs, competition counsel for the Greater Asia region

What are the key responsibilities of your role?

I am Intel's competition law attorney for the Greater Asia Region and have overall responsibility for competition law related issues throughout the region. Although I am the only attorney in Asia dealing full time with such issues, I have colleagues in a number of jurisdictions who spend a greater or lesser amount of their time on them as well. This includes a very able colleague in China, but I also coordinate with my colleagues in other parts of the world, such as the US and Europe.

How does your role fit in with the rest of the legal function at Intel in China?
