Canada’s competition law regime recently underwent arguably the most significant reforms in its 120-year history. One-and-a-half years later, leading practitioners provide practical insight on navigating the new merger, pricing, distribution and cartel law provisions of Canada’s Competition Act, along with “best practices” from their recent file experience to assist with guiding clients to success under the new amendments. This practical and hands-on program will share lessons learned in responding to Canada’s new US-style merger review regime, the substantial new flexibility for pricing and distribution decisions in Canada, the expanded scope of the cartel-laws, and follow on class actions claims.

WilmerHale partner Hartmut Schneider is a featured speaker at this event and will be presenting on a panel entitled "Vertical Restraints, Pricing and Distribution: How Far Can Your Clients Go?"
