Antitrust Enforcement In The Americas:

Is Big Bad Again

In the last few years, Antitrust agencies across the Americas have significantly stepped up their enforcement actions.  Now more than ever, they are coordinating in real time their cross border investigations.  These changes to enforcement policy in many jurisdictions across the Americas have raised the degree of regulatory risk.  For companies that conduct business across the Americas, it has never been more important to be current on the international antitrust landscape.

Our third Annual seminar brings together an expert panel from five leading law firms in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, the U.S., and the European Union, along with seasoned -in- house antitrust experts.  This panel will provide practical insight on the current environment, and comment on best practices for minimizing international antitrust scrutiny and effectively addressing cross-border antitrust investigations.  Specifically, this panel will cover:

• The increasing policy focus on monopolization/dominance investigations
    
• How antitrust agencies now coordinate their efforts in real time
   
• The practical impact of the New Brazilian antitrust law
   
• What to expect in antitrust priorities for the New Obama administration
   
• Compliance best practices for dealing with cross-border reviews and investigations
