Points of attendance
With regard to so-called "sensitive information" such as "price," "quantity," and "customers," there has already been widespread alerting to cartel risk. On the other hand, efforts may be spontaneously organized among businesses in collaboration with the aim of realizing new social values, or such collaborative efforts may be requested in order to respond to new social changes. It is assumed that this in itself is probably not usually considered particularly problematic from the perspective of antitrust law, as it is pro-competitive.
However, it is important to note that collaboration and alignment of business activities, which should be conducted on a "company-by-company" basis, is fraught with cartel risk, even if the information is not related to "sensitive information". Even if the collaboration itself is not a problem, it does not mean that all collaboration and joint efforts are permitted as long as they are related to the collaboration.
In this seminar, we will move away from the concept of "the object of the act" (i.e., caution in handling sensitive information), and rethink cartel risk from the idea of "the mode of the act" (i.e., caution in consideration of coordination and alignment).
Only members can watch it.
Please refrain from registering at a law firm, in the same industry as our company, or with a free email address.

In this seminar, Once we leave the idea from "the object of the act (i.e., care must be taken in handling sensitive information, etc.)," we will consider cartel risk again from the idea of "the manner of the act (i.e., points to keep in mind when considering coordination and alignment). In partXNUMX, I will cover cartels.
