Third Annual Chicago Forum on International Antitrust Issues
by Searle Center on Law, Regulation, and Economic Growth at Northwestern University School of Law
The Third Annual Chicago Forum on International Antitrust Issues is a premier conference dedicated to exploring the latest developments in global competition law. Organized by the Searle Center on Law, Regulation, and Economic Growth at Northwestern University School of Law, this event brings together leading practitioners, regulators, and academics to discuss pressing antitrust topics.
The forum covers a range of critical subjects, including the impact of economic downturns on antitrust enforcement in the U.S. and EU, strategies for navigating multijurisdictional merger remedies, and the challenges posed by Brazil's new antitrust regime. Sessions also delve into the strategic acquisition and use of patents, abuse of dominance cases, and the complexities of distribution practices outside the U.S.
Attendees have the opportunity to engage in networking breaks and participate in compliance workshops, such as those focusing on internal investigations and dealing with rogue employees. Notable speakers include Edith Ramirez, Commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission, and Hon. Diane P. Wood, Circuit Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.
This forum is ideal for antitrust professionals, corporate counsel, policymakers, and academics seeking to stay abreast of international antitrust developments and to connect with peers in the field.
