Europe's E-Commerce Report and Antitrust Enforcement in the Online Marketplace

Webinar | 02.13.17, 8:00 AM EST - 9:00 AM EST

Register

As part of its Digital Single Market Strategy, the European Commission launched an e-commerce sector inquiry in May 2015. One of the stated objectives was to help the Commission identify possible competition concerns in European e-commerce markets. In September 2016, the Commission issued a preliminary report. Based on evidence collected from nearly 1,800 companies, the preliminary report confirms the continued growth of e-commerce and identifies common business practices in the sector including some the Commission suggests may limit online competition. What can we learn from the preliminary report and what are the implications for antitrust enforcement in Europe and beyond?

Please join our panel to learn more about this important report and implications for the e-commerce sector!

The webinar is sponsored by the ABA's Media & Technology Committee, of which Senior Counsel Lisa Kimmel is vice-chair.

Dr. Salomé Cisnal de Ugarte is speaking on the panel of this webinar.

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.
