There has been a rapid increase in jurisdictions in which competition law regimes not only exist but are actively enforced. This includes a number of Latin American countries which have seen a substantial evolution in their competition policies and increased levels of enforcement.
Global and regional cooperation among authorities has played a significant role in making enforcement more effective. The sharing of best practices, in particular within the context of the International Competition Network, has led to improvements in enforcement procedures and investigative techniques, including leniency programmes.
At the same time, greater awareness among governments and civil societies of the benefits of vigorously enforcing competition law has given the work of competition authorities significant public exposure.
All this makes it increasingly important to keep up-to-date with local as well as global developments in the legal framework, administrative practices and the evolution of case law.
This conference will analyse key legislative and administrative trends in global competition law, with a focus on recent developments in Latin America. It is aimed at enforcers, practitioners, counsel, academics and others with an interest in competition law and its enforcement.
Sessions include:
• Antitrust compliance
• Cartel enforcement
• Cooperation among agencies
• Due process issues
• Loyalty discounts and rebates
• Market definition in dynamic/changing sectors
