We develop individually tailored compliance programs for our clients, and give presentations, seminars and in-house training to their staff on how to apply those programs in the daily practice of their industry, with special emphasis on aiding front-line personnel to minimize the risks of an accusation of anti-competitive behavior. We also advise clients on a day-to-day basis concerning business transactions that may raise antitrust issues.
