HIGH IMPACT EXECUTIVE MASTERCLASSES
Business Operations and Corporate Strategies
Competition law has gone through a remarkable and exponential growth in importance and relevance over the last decade. This masterclass is designed to give those involved in general management responsibilities, in identifying M&A and joint venture opportunities, and in regulated or highly concentrated industries an insight into what to expect in the areas of enforcement trends and implications of the three key prohibitions under the competition law.
These key prohibitions are:
1. Agreements which restrict, prevent or distort competition
2. Abuse of a dominant position
3. Mergers and acquisitions that substantially lessen competition
