Competition Law in Times of Price Increases and Supply Shortages

Webinar | 12.07.21, 6:00 AM CST - 8:00 AM CST

Register

In Collaboration with IBJ/IJE


Many sectors are currently facing supply shortages and price increases for inputs. Companies are looking for strategies to tackle these issues and maintain profitability. However, in doing so, they have to be careful not to fall foul of competition rules.


In this webinar, Crowell & Moring lawyers Karel Bourgeois and Karl Stas will cover competition law do’s and don’ts in this context. They will cover various aspects including collusion (e.g. how to communicate about price increases), abuse of dominance, abuse of economic dependence, as well as the Belgian Competition Authority’s powers in relation to “abnormal” price evolutions. 


They will also discuss the return of dawn raids, drawing on recent direct experience with unannounced inspections by both the European Commission and national competition authorities.

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
