Broadcast Date: Thursday, July 16, 2020
from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm (ET)

Overview:

With the growing competition in the marketplace and the increasing number of antitrust claims, the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Antitrust Division and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) continue to intensify its crackdown on anticompetitive conduct across all industries. The FTC recently announced the creation of an internal task force that would monitor and investigate potential antitrust violations arising in the technology markets. Moreover, the DOJ’s amicus program initiatives continue to expand as it intends to promote fair and accurate interpretations of antitrust laws in courts.

The current COVID-19 pandemic further complicates the myriad of critical issues and compliance hurdles companies are already facing. Thus, businesses and their counsel must keep themselves abreast of emerging developments. They should be proactive in reassessing their existing practices to ensure compliance and avoid legal liabilities.

Join a panel of key thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group as they present the audience with an in-depth discussion of the emerging trends and developments in antitrust law. Speakers will dig deeper as they analyze critical issues and offer significant compliance tips and strategies in this evolving legal climate.

This LIVE Webcast will discuss the following:

  • Antitrust and Consumer Protection Enforcement in the Face of the COVID-19 Pandemic:
    • U.S.
    • Europe
    • Emerging Challenges
