Lifecycle of a Cartel – From Dawn Raids to Damages Claims

Webinar | 09.15.25, 2:00 PM CEST - 3:30 PM CEST

Address

Virtual

In Collaboration with the IBJ-IJE

Even the best compliance program cannot always prevent 'over-ambitious' employees from engaging in anti-competitive conduct with counterparts at competitor companies. But what happens if such a practice is discovered, or if a competition authority knocks on your door one morning?

Join us for an insightful session in which we will guide you through all stages of a cartel lifecycle and answer important questions such as:

  • What should you do when you discover misconduct?
  • How should you react when your company is subject to a dawn raid?
  • What does a cartel investigation look like? What are the possible sanctions and how can you influence the outcome?

What should you do after a decision has been adopted? Should you appeal? What about possible damages claims?

With cartel investigations remaining a high priority for competition authorities in Belgium and the EU, this webinar will help you navigate the costly pitfalls of a cartel investigation and prepare you for when things get serious.

Your questions and insights are welcome.

We look forward to your participation in this engaging session.

Rethinking "the Administrative State" - Takeaways From the Supreme Court's 2025–26 Term

The Supreme Court's 2025–26 term took up several momentous cases that will influence and, in key respects, reorient constitutional separation-of-powers principles moving forward. Join the D.C. Bar Administrative Law and Agency Practice Community for a discussion of the key takeaways from the Supreme Court's 2025-26 term. This panel will examine decisions addressing the scope of executive branch authority, including cases involving tariffs issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the removal of leaders of so-called independent agencies. The discussion will also address significant orders issued on the Court's emergency docket and what these decisions and orders signal about the distinct roles the three branches of federal government play in shaping the administrative state.
