Troutman Pepper Locke is excited to invite you to our Annual Antitrust CLE event, where U.S. and international presenters will offer an in-depth look at significant antitrust developments and provide practical guidance to help you minimize and manage risks.

The event will feature five panels (4.5 hours substantive and 1 hour ethics). The panels will encourage audience participation and engagement with our distinguished group of presenters. Panelists will cover current U.S. and international merger and non-merger enforcement in the current administration and recent case law. The discussions will address the heightened antitrust risks of artificial intelligence, participation in industry groups, worker non-compete restrictions, and the more non-traditional antitrust theories of harm, including how state and federal concerns related to ESG and free speech impact antitrust risks. We will end the session with a panel on ethics.

AGENDA

8:30 a.m. Opening Remarks

8:35 a.m. Today’s Hot Topics

  • Right to Repair: How will the right to repair movement impact antitrust?
  • State laws aimed at strengthening competition or lowering prices raise interesting questions about how companies can safely operate and the goals and application of the antitrust laws.
  • Compliance in light of the current administration’s position on worker non-competes.

9:40 a.m. Antitrust Conspiracies and How to Avoid Them

Algorithms, predictive pricing, and industry groups are an important part of doing business. This discussion will focus on criminal and civil antitrust issues arising from participation in trade associations and industry groups or the use of algorithms and AI.

1:10 p.m. Innovation, Intellectual Property & Antitrust

One of the key goals of the antitrust is to foster innovation. This panel will look at innovation in several ways, including the current administration’s positions at the intersection of intellectual property and antitrust laws, recent innovative use of the antitrust laws to restrict environmental and sustainability efforts, and what the recent Department of Justice, Antitrust Division’s recent Big Tech trials mean for antitrust and innovation moving forward.

2:15 p.m. Ethical Pitfalls in Large Antitrust Cases

The discussion will include many ethics-related topics that arise in antitrust litigation, including regarding internal investigations, joint defense, counsel representing the interests of class representatives and class members, communications with members of a putative class, and issues that arise in the course of settlement negotiations

The Credit Card Compliance Roundtable connects compliance, legal, and risk leaders from major card issuers to benchmark compliance monitoring, controls, and regulatory preparedness.

Join CCBCA for a webinar hosted by Troutman Pepper Locke, where we will explore the latest developments in credit card bank compliance. Our expert panel will cover key topics, including current regulatory challenges, the increasing role of states like CA DFPI and the NY FAIR Act including potential federal preemption arguments, and evolving privacy issues. We’ll also discuss the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in credit card bank operations and its compliance implications, as well as best practices for managing FCRA compliance when using AI for decisioning, implications for credit scores, alternative data, and onboarding new AI vendors.

This presentation will cover the legal and regulatory compliance nuances relating to offering insurance alongside a customer’s purchasing journey for other products and services. Offering insurance at a “point of checkout” or as part of a bundled product/service package may be an attractive marketing strategy, but there are a myriad of associated legal and regulatory compliance considerations and practical challenges.

  • Is the core vendor properly licensed to sell insurance or is that vendor otherwise structuring the process to make sure a licensee handles the insurance transaction component?
  • Is the “package” of products/services permissible under state insurance laws?
  • Are insurance sales commissions being shared in a proper manner?
  • Do challenges become more difficult in the excess and surplus lines insurance markets?

These questions and others will be explored in this presentation.

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, artificial intelligence is transforming how businesses operate, bringing both opportunities and challenges. One challenge is the rapidly emerging patchwork of state and local AI laws and regulations. Last year alone, state lawmakers introduced over 500 bills on various AI topics and issues. In this webinar, we will bring order to the chaos and provide attendees with an overview of the existing AI laws and regulations. To drive understanding and comprehension, we will use a unique topic and use-case based approach breaking the laws down across topics, including consumer disclosure obligations, risk assessment requirements, pricing algorithms, employee-specific issues, provenance, and frontier model laws. Attendees will walk away not only with an understanding of the current state and local legal requirements governing AI but also with a framework to understand and digest new laws enacted moving forward.

As states continue to advance privacy and AI legislation, organizations face an increasingly complex compliance landscape. This webinar will highlight the latest state-level developments, including laws taking effect in the coming months and those recently enacted. Our speakers will cover key trends across consumer privacy, AI regulation, health and children’s data privacy, data broker requirements, and emerging enforcement actions—and what these changes mean for your business.
