Event Synopsis: The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) are aggressively enforcing antitrust laws with particular focus on mergers and acquisitions and antitrust compliance programs. Today's imperative antitrust enforcement environment has already produced DOJ's nearly $1.9 billion collection of criminal penalties in the most recent fiscal year, topping the $1 billion mark for the third straight year. In light of this regulatory trend, it is crucial for companies to review their compliance efforts and understand their antitrust risk profile to be able to assess whether their related policies are appropriate. Furthermore, businesses throughout North America should be reminded of the trilateral meetings among the Antitrust Agencies in the United States, Canada and Mexico which are coordinating investigative efforts towards uniform antitrust law enforcement. The message is clear: a robust antitrust compliance program is a must. The DOJ clarified that an antitrust compliance program should be effective and should have the capacity to determine and prevent the occurrence of potential antitrust violations. In this two-hour CLE Webcast, The Knowledge Group has assembled a panel of key thought leaders to provide audience with an in-depth analysis and discussion of: Emerging Issues: Dealing Effectively and Efficiently with Antitrust Agencies in an Assertive Enforcement Era. Speakers will offer best practices on avoiding the common pitfalls and risks of anticompetitive activity.
