Event Synopsis: In 2014, three U.S. Courts of Appeal issued rulings interpreting the Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act (FTAIA), focusing specifically on the requirement that anti-competitive conduct in foreign jurisdictions must have a “direct, substantial, and reasonably foreseeable effect” on U.S. commerce to be the focus of government enforcement actions under the U.S. Sherman Act. The court decisions have created ambiguity for counsel representing purchasers of material components from global supply chains. Questions concern the scope of the indirect purchaser rule, whether component parts should be purchased directly through U.S. corporations, and whether U.S. manufacturers should operate through foreign subsidiaries. In this insightful, two-hour LIVE Webcast a panel of key thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss the Effects and Implications of U.S. Anti-trust Laws on Foreign Purchasing Practices. The panel of speakers will help the audience to understand both the overt and the subtle consequences of US Anti-trust laws that are improving global business while, in cases, harming it financially. Key topics include: · Foreign Trade Anti-trust Improvements Act (FTAIA) · Recent Case Law · Ambiguities · The Effect of Sherman Act on Foreign Business Practices · Standard of Liability for Foreign Price Fixing Agreements · Minimizing Anti-trust Risks · Applicability of FTAIA to Foreign Business Practices · Foreign Avoidance Practices (Evasion) · FTAIA Domestic Effects Test · Compliance and Litigation Risk · Related Regulations About The Knowledge Group, LLC/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series The Knowledge Congress was established with the mission to produce unbiased, objective, and educational live webinars that examine industry trends and regulatory changes from a variety of different perspectives.
