Event Synopsis:
The law prohibits competitors from agreeing to fix prices for purchase or sale of goods and services because it alters supply and demand and reduces competition in the markets. Although some aspects of U.S. antitrust laws appear to be clear cut, in reality, this is far from the truth due to the complexity, ambiguity, and contradictory nature of the various laws.
US Courts have generally recognized two categories of price fixing arrangements: horizontal arrangements among competitors on the same functional level of the distribution chain and vertical arrangements among firms at different levels of the distributions chain, for example, an agreement between a manufacturer and its wholesaler. While agreements to fix prices among competitors are always illegal, the same is not true for vertical agreements that affect price, which may or may not be illegal depending upon their impact on competition. An effective compliance program requires a solid understanding of the types of arrangements that are always illegal (and how to avoid them) as well as an understanding of the types of pricing agreements that may be perfectly legal if properly structured and implemented. Armed with this knowledge, a firm can greatly enhance its ability to avoid allegations of price fixing and the extremely costly and dangerous litigation that can result.
In this one-hour, Live CLE Webcast, a panel of key thought leaders organized by The Knowledge Group will review price fixing risks and discuss Preventing Price Fixing Allegations from becoming a serious risk to your firm. Speakers will provide insightful information to help you avoid allegations and remain in compliance with the Sherman Act and other regulations.
