The boundaries of unilateral conduct

Thursday 2 November (1615 - 1730)

Room 241, Level 2

Committee(s)

Antitrust Section (Lead)

Description

Unilateral enforcement is tightening around the world and authorities are increasingly creative in their proposed theories of harm. In many jurisdictions, the investigations take years (and substantive costs) to resolve, while distinguishing between pro and anti-competitive unilateral conduct is far from straightforward. Hear from our very experienced and diverse group of panelists the current (and sometimes conflicting) trends across the globe in this area, key challenges involved in analysing unilateral conduct in different economic sectors (especially in IT/tech), and if greater convergence and sound enforcement of laws governing unilateral conduct is an achievable goal in the foreseeable future.
