Drafting Agreements to Avoid Antitrust Violations

Winston & Strawn hosted an eLunch titled “Drafting Agreements to Avoid Antitrust Violations” on Wednesday, May 2 at 12:15 (Central). 

Businesses entering into agreements with competitors must be mindful of running afoul of antitrust laws, which can present unforeseen pitfalls. In this one-hour eLunch, our distinguished speakers addressed the key antitrust issues that most practitioners face when drafting and negotiating corporate and commercial agreements.

We covered the following hot button issues:

• Practical implications of the recent ruling in the In re Online DVD Rental Antitrust Litigation
• Restraints of trade: what you need to know
• Issues specific to the creation of joint ventures
• Strategic considerations for drafting various types of agreements, including merger agreements and market foreclosure agreements

Mark McCareins and former Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation chief administrative officer and general counsel Craig Hunt, led this practical, interactive presentation that provided strategic guidance for businesses and their counsel on how to stay ahead of the curve when drafting corporate and commercial agreements.

An eLunch is a complimentary, interactive seminar where participants watch and listen to a presentation given by Winston & Strawn attorneys over the Internet.
