The National Competition Law Section of the Canadian Bar Association will holding its annual Competition Law Spring Forum on May 2, 2012 in Toronto at the Toronto Board of Trade.
From the CBA:
“Aided by the 2009/10 changes to the Competition Act, the Canadian Competition Bureau has adopted an aggressive enforcement agenda. There are more cases litigated in the Tribunal and the Courts than ever before, including the first prosecution under the new conspiracy provisions of the Act. Commissioner Melanie Aitken has made it clear that there are more to come.
Our expert panellists will provide guidance on effectively protecting your clients’ interests at all stages – from preventative compliance programs to responding to criminal or civil enforcement actions. We are delighted to announce that Commissioner Aitken will be our keynote lunchtime speaker.”
