Schedule and topics

Commencing on May 28, the webinars will run on a weekly basis, touching on a different topic for three weeks:

State aid in Corona times: How to find help in a multinational environment
May 28, 2020 at 15:00 CET

State Aid in Corona times – A virus outbreak with tremendous speed, but also a swift reaction by European countries and the European Commission: the Commission reactivated and adjusted within days previous (temporary framework) instruments to provide guidance from the ground up and cleared over one hundred aid measures in the last weeks. Our state aid experts from European jurisdictions will provide an overview of the current framework, comment on aid programs in key jurisdictions in Europe and beyond, and respond to frequently asked questions that have arisen in practice.

Our panelists: Emmanuelle van den Broucke (France), Michele Carpagnano (Italy), Christopher Graf (UK), Marc Kuijper (Netherlands) and Dr. Matthias Nordmann (Germany).

Cooperation in the crisis: Global guide, variable risks
June 3, 2020 at 15:00 CET

Competition law normally prohibits competitors from cooperating. But in times like this, facing a pandemic and a massive upheaval of the economy, limited cooperation may be essential and competition authorities have recognised this in a range of ways. The Dentons competition team with its global reach will highlight where the competition rules have been relaxed or altered to deal with the current crisis and the risks associated with cooperation amongst competitors, especially as the pandemic comes to an end.

Further information about our panelists will be provided in due course.
