Every responsible general counsel knows the importance of antitrust compliance. But discussing antitrust compliance is not just a way of ensuring that your company follows the law. It is a way of protecting your company from those who may not be following the law. In bad times, companies face increasing risk of being victims of price fixing agreements that increase their operating costs. And the general counsel's office can be a source not just of advice and admonition on internal compliance, but of direct profit for the firm by helping the purchasing department to spot price fixing, to stop it, and to recover for it. This program will explore what to tell not only your sales staff, but your purchasing department.
