Companies compete to recruit and retain talent. Therefore, even if they do not compete in the production and/or distribution of goods and services, firms may be competitors in the labour market. Competition authorities are showing an increasing interest in labour market agreements, investigating and sanctioning anti-competitive agreements, such as non-solicitation or wage-fixing agreements.

During the event, we will review the main developments in this area, providing practical ideas on how to identify the risks associated with these types of agreements and how to deal with them effectively. Speakers will share their experiences, offering a 360° view of the issue and approaching it from the perspective of the competition authority, in-house counsel and external counsel.

After the session, we will be pleased to invite you to the lunch organised by GA_P and ACC Europe.

Gómez-Acebo & Pombo is pleased to invite you to our upcoming webinar entitled: “Competition Inspections: Challenges, Risks, and Practical Recommendations.”

Dawn raids are one of the main tools used by competition authorities to detect anti-competitive behaviour within companies. These inspections can lead to severe penalties and reputational damage. The increasing activity of the CNMC and other competition authorities makes it essential for companies to stay informed and be well prepared to face such inspections. Moreover, it is vital to adopt the necessary measures to prevent infringements and ensure compliance with competition law internally.

During the webinar, we will cover key topics such as:

• Challenges: The main difficulties companies face during an inspection.
• Risks: Identifying and managing the risks associated with dawn raids.
• Practical Recommendations: Strategies and guidance to effectively prepare for and respond to a potential inspection.

Don’t miss the opportunity to gain valuable insights into how to be prepared in the event of a competition inspection. We look forward to seeing you there!
