Course overview

Is your business taking advantage and making the most of the opportunities available? Are you confident that you are compliant with competition law in the UK and the EU? This training course explores the fundamental principles and key elements of competition law and policy in the EU and UK. It deep-dives into how compliance works in practice to enable you to troubleshoot and maximise the opportunities available.

This training course provides delegates with a comprehensive understanding of the current law governing their business and agreements, as well as anticipated changes. It also provides an appreciation of the steps needed to ensure compliance with current law whilst preparing for expected changes. 

The repercussions of breaching competition law are severe and can include:
