The past decade has seen an increase not only
in multinational business, but also in the prevalence of antitrust and
competition law regimes. Over 100 nations now enforce competition laws,
many influenced by European Community law, whereas U.S. law had previously
been the primary model. As these laws evolve, and enforcement becomes more
aggressive, those who must honor and those who must enforce them need to
clarify certain rules and procedures. Marc Firestone will discuss his
perspective on current issues in global competition law and their
implications for doing business around the world.
