Objectives
An overview of national and EU competition law such that you can spot where potential risk lies and ensure that your company’s sales practices and contacts with competitors, suppliers and clients comply with competition law.

It will be tailored to your sector; practical examples highlight where competition law can affect your company.

Content

Abuse of dominance: how is a company dominant on a market and what must it avoid doing as a result?
What investigatory tools and sanctioning powers do competition authorities possess?
How can competition law risk be reduced?
