Competition and antitrust scrutiny has been intensifying around
the world, with a polarizing regulatory shake-up in the U.S. and
calls for a trans-Atlantic crackdown on Big Tech. As the
Commissioner of Competition launches new investigations and has
access to increased resources, how far will Canada go to follow
suit?
Join us for a discussion on how recent cases, government
initiatives and international developments may influence the future
of competition law in Canada.
The session will be moderated by Randall Hofley, former
Competition Bureau General Counsel and Senior Enforcement Advisor,
and will include practical advice for in-house counsel and business
leaders on how to prepare for potential changes.
Topics
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Anti-competitive business practices
- Deceptive marketing practices, including online activity
After the presentation, there will be a Q&A session.
