Law Firms initiatives

The Law Firms Steering Committee has reviewed over 15 antitrust compliance initiatives from law firms having developed a dedicated approach in this field of antitrust. Many law firms consider antitrust compliance as an internal duty of the companies - as corruption prevention - and intervene only in case of issues. Some law firms however have undertaken a different approach aiming at helping in-house counsel setting up internal processes dedicated to limiting legal risks. The Law Firms award-winning initiative will be announced on May 10, 2021 at the Antitrust Compliance Ceremony.

I am delighted to join the jury panel for the 2021 Antitrust Compliance Global Summit & Awards. The Summit creates an important platform to acknowledge the challenges faced in the last year whilst the Awards allow us to recognize the achievements of those who have overcome such challenges and are producing great work despite the odds. Events such as the Antitrust Compliance Global Summit & Awards are an excellent opportunity for agencies across the world, particularly the smaller ones, to inspire each other by sharing their innovative ideas, discussing best practice and highlighting their successes. I look forward to seeing you in January!

Concurrences is recognizing the importance of compliance programs in the competition law field by staging a series of virtual conferences on the topic and giving awards to leaders in this field.

This is a very valuable contribution to our field. For too long competition law compliance has taken a back seat to other areas, especially anti-corruption. Much of the blame for this lies at the feet of competition law enforcers, who had refused to recognize compliance programs, preferring instead to focus only on collecting fines. In contrast, in other areas of law enforcement, the value of compliance and government’s role in recognizing and promoting it, was readily recognized. Recently this negative approach in competition law has started to change, and we now have an opportunity to see more energy, imagination and resources directed into competition law compliance.

Those who do the difficult work of competition law compliance deserve to be recognized and encouraged. At the same time, we need incentives to move beyond the old approaches of dusty manuals and legal lectures, into steps that make programs work – things like empowering compliance officers, dealing with incentives, evaluating what program steps actually are working.

Congratulations to Concurrences for its leadership in promoting competition law compliance efforts.

Antitrust compliance initiative proposed by this award summit is a creative mind rarely found in the traditional legal sector. The ideas to be innovative in antitrust compliance are proposed to better chart the evolution of the legal profession and will be presented in a way that is more useful, user-friendly and amusing for the audience of the antitrust compliance trainings.

A larger context of this initiative and the reason why I am interested in joining this event - in view of the ever-increasing deterrent effects of the penalties imposed on antitrust violations worldwide, the importance of an ex-ante mechanism of an antitrust compliance also rises accordingly to avoid any ‘ex post’ antitrust risks. Antitrust compliance has become a routine task for companies, law firms, enforcers and even academics to follow and work on in their daily life.

In the current globalized economy weakened by the health crisis, this Concurrences’s initiative is ideal for developing and promoting of compliance antitrust.

The international dimension and the format of the event give an exceptional character to the image of the participation of many professionals representative of the ecosystem (lawyers, experts, public authorities, enterprises, etc.). The opportunity to experience a 360 ° view of the antitrust issue not to be missed.

For me, Legaltech’s innovation and digital solutions are both major elements and catalysts for an effective implementation in terms of compliance antitrust by bringing traceability, consolidation, confidentiality and security to enterprises.
