Join us for an insightful session on the distinct—and diverging—approaches to sustainability-focused collaboration under competition law on both sides of the Atlantic and what it means for businesses.

Learn how sustainability cooperation is assessed under antitrust laws in the US, EU and the UK, including:

  • How to navigate similarities and differences in the applicable law and enforcement frameworks.
  • How the political shift under the Trump administration affects sustainability cooperation in the US, including by looking at recent lawsuits brought at federal and state level.
  • How the EU Commission and Member States approach sustainability, the legal framework that has been established and the guidance provided by competition law authorities.
  • How the UK’s newly adopted approach fits into this broader landscape.

After providing an overview of the state of play in each of these jurisdictions and identifying the main similarities and differences, our speakers will discuss what businesses need to be aware of when setting up or joining sustainability projects in this complex regulatory landscape.

The session will conclude with a Q & A, where your questions and insights are welcome.

We look forward to your participation in this engaging session.

But that does not tell the entire story. The Administration remains committed to exercising a heavy hand in AI, including by banning the U.S. government’s procurement of so-called “woke AI,” intervening in the development of data centers and the export of the AI technology stack, imposing an export fee for certain semiconductors to China, and assuming a stake in a U.S. semiconductor company. State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
