Competition Law

• 30 Minutes
• For all staff
• UK

Anti-competitive agreements are rarely written down. Parties often never meet, yet any concerted action, exchange of information or meeting of minds can amount to illegal collusion. This 30-minute course helps staff identify types of anti-competitive agreement, avoid entering into one, adopt measures against abuse of market dominance, and understand what UK and EU competition law prohibits.

Competition penalties reach up to a substantial proportion of worldwide turnover, and individuals can face disqualification or prosecution. Most breaches begin at a trade association event or in a casual conversation between competitors. Training commercial, sales and pricing staff on where the line sits is far more effective than a policy nobody reads before a conference.
