The threat of antitrust litigation, both through government action and civil suits, is very real. Can your employees recognize an antitrust red flag when they see one? How do you train an employee about a complex legal topic that has real-world implications to the company as well as him or her personally? This session will review the increasing enforcement trends regarding antitrust compliance both in the United States and abroad, provide real tools for you to incorporate into an antitrust compliance program in your company, and touch on international antitrust developments. This program will emphasize what employees need to know (certainly not statutory code numbers!) and how to communicate antitrust principles to your employees in a meaningful manner. The session will include an abbreviated real employee training: Can you answer the antitrust scenarios put to your employees?
