Antitrust and Developing and Emerging Economies: New Issues in Cartels and Corruption, Big Data, and the Public Interest
NYU School of Law and Concurrences Conference
Friday, November 1, 2019
8:00am-5:15pm
40 Washington Square South, Greenberg Lounge
Abstract: This year’s conference highlighted anti-cartel and corruption enforcement, and experts presented compliance strategies to guard against both, especially at their intersection as occurred in Brazil’s Petrobas incident. The program explored big data networks and their effect on economic development; and experts explained the most recent concerns in clearing mergers that affect developing countries, including legislative developments in adding public interest factors to merger law and advice as to what the agencies will expect from the merging parties to address these concerns.
7 CLE credits is approved in the Areas of Professional Practice. The credit will be both transitional and non-transitional and is appropriate for both newly admitted and experienced attorneys. CLE Materials.
