Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrei Radu" data-source="post: 231974" data-attributes="member: 36777">Hi [USER=30998]@flower1[/USER] that's a great question. While I have not had to deal with a lot of antitrust-related tasks and questions in my ACs, I would aim to know the following:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The main competition law infringements that companies can be fined for: abuse of a dominant position in the market, forming of cartels (such as price fixing agreements, bid-rigging, customer allocation agreements, group boycotts, sharing of confidential information etc), and anti-competitive mergers. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The basics of the merger control regime: how to the authorities get involved, how do parties protect against risk of intervention by the antitrust authorities via contractual clauses, what remedies are available for a company to appease the authorities to let a deal go through (structural remedies such as selling a part of a target's business + behavioural remedies such as agreements not to raise prices).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">How the recently developed class-action competition law regime works in the UK;</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The main types of issues and controversies economists and lawyers face in this area - such as determining at what level of granularity/generality to define a given market, to determine what counts as a detrimental impact on competition (would a merger of the 4th and rd largest companies in a market have a negative impact, assuming this enables them to better compete with the #1 and #2 largest companies, who dominate most of the market?) and determining what kinds of arrangements and remedies would be economically justified or considered abusive. </li> </ul></blockquote>
