I am pleased to be participating in the Canadian Bar Association’s upcoming CBA Canadian Legal Conference in Vancouver on a panel on August 13th, part of which is still to be announced, discussing recent competition law developments for in-house counsel:
“Canada’s competition and foreign investment laws are being enforced more vigorously than ever. The Competition Bureau has wide powers allowing them to investigate conduct that might have an anti-competitive impact on the Canadian marketplace, and investigations often involve high-stakes consequences for companies including public stigma, criminal penalties, or unneeded complications arising in the middle of a strategic merger. Learn how to minimize your risk and limit liability with practical guidance from our experienced panel on how to ensure regulatory approval for mergers, strategic alliances and joint ventures. (90 min)”
