Individual businesspeople, business entities, trade associations, and state licensing boards-nearly everyone involved in trade or commerce of some sort-must ensure that their conduct complies with federal and state antitrust laws. If they don’t, they face possible criminal prosecution, civil investigations, and private litigation-including class action lawsuits. This new one-hour presentation gives you a working knowledge of the circumstances in which antitrust risks typically arise, and how to reduce those risks.
