Advantage through Trade Policies: Prioritizing Tariffs
The ongoing "Competitive Edge" webinar series, hosted by Robin Adelstein, Global Head of Antitrust and Competition, is delving into the intricacies of antitrust and competition law, providing valuable insights for professionals in the field.
Recent sessions have addressed a range of topics, including the latest antitrust enforcement tools, compliance programs, and the increasing use of AI by regulators. Speakers have emphasized the importance of practical antitrust compliance, going beyond mere policies on paper.
One of the upcoming sessions will focus on the revisiting of industrial policy in response to tariffs, exploring the potential use of tariffs as a tool to retaliate against foreign enforcement action and fines. The session will feature expert speakers such as Marianne Wagener, South African Head of Antitrust and Competition, based in Cape Town and Johannesburg, and Neely Agin, US Head of Antitrust and Competition, based in Washington, DC.
The series also aims to discuss disruption to supply chains, a concern that may require emergency coordination in some sectors, and counselling trade association participants. Marta Giner Asins, Partner, based in Paris and Casablanca, and Martyn Taylor, Partner, based in Sydney, are among the speakers who will contribute to these discussions.
Chris Hersh, Canadian Head of Antitrust and Competition, based in Toronto, is also scheduled to speak in the series. The discussions during the webinars will focus on the global implications for the imposition of domestic tariffs.
