New York, NY, September 24, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts has announced today that Dr. Timothy Daniel, Senior Vice President of NERA Economic Consulting, (Former Assistant Director, Antitrust, FTC’s Bureau of Economics) will speak at the Knowledge Congress’ webcast entitled: “Antitrust & Technology for Attorneys: Dealing with a Global Anti-Competitive Environment”. This event is scheduled for February 4, 2010 at 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET. (For further details, please visit: http://www.knowledgecongress.org/event_2009_Antitrust.html)
Event Synopsis:
The Antitrust Law seeks to prevent anti-competitive actions within markets to protect consumer welfare and ensure opportunities for all businesses. To achieve these objectives, it prohibits practices that restrict free competition between business entities, such as the creation of cartels, bans anti-competitive practices of firms that lead to their dominance in particular markets, and controls mergers and acquisitions of large companies. However, in this age of rapid innovation, especially in the cyberspace economy, it’s essential that these practices be regulated to serve consumers' interests and promote competition. Technology is making the global environment more interconnected leading to legal antitrust issues that may not have been conceived before. Attorneys need to be in the know on an up to the minute basis in order to properly advise their clients on these issues.
The Knowledge Group is producing a webcast to help attorneys deal with the growing global environment brought about by technology. Learn about new regulations and best practices on this topic.
