Clifford Chance and Thomson Reuters eLearning
Regulators are taking an increasingly tough
stance on competition / antitrust compliance.
Failure to comply with the relevant legislation
can lead to significant fines imposed on
companies, criminal penalties including
imprisonment, disciplinary actions against
individuals, disqualification of company
directors and serious reputational damage.
In recent years, authorities have significantly
increased the level of fines imposed on
parties caught breaching competition law.
The Clifford Chance competition / antitrust eLearning courses, delivered by Thomson Reuters, focus on helping business to adapt an enterprise-wide approach to
generating awareness of and familiarity with what comprises anticompetitive behaviour. The courses, covering
competition law in the EU, the US, Japan, China, India, Russia and Canada, are written and regularly reviewed by legal professionals with both local knowledge and cross-border experience on high profile competition / antitrust cases.
