“Antitrust and free competition: matters to be considered

This session will review the most important aspects of competition law that affect mergers and acquisitions such as pre-merger filings and restrictive practices. Speakers will analyse the effect of failure to make filings when a pre-merger filing is due. They will also examine the policy on when a number of activities are singled out as a given relevant market and issues related toobtaining the relevant clearance from the competent local anti-trust authority.

The session will cover the most common issues in connection with restrictive practices, such as clauses on non-competition, exclusive supply and distribution agreements and when a merger or an acquisition may prompt rules on unfair competition.
