Legal Perspectives

The 2009 amendments to the Competition Act were the most extensive changes to the Act since its introduction in 1986. Likely the most important change to the Act was the introduction of a per se criminal conspiracy offence.

The presentation will provide an overview of the impact of the amendments on competitor collaborations and will offer practical advice on how to address some of the risks arising from such collaborations.
