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.

Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors. ...
