Overview
No One Is Immune
Antitrust Untangled is designed for anyone whose actions or dealings with customers, suppliers, or competitors impact your compliance situation daily and who could, therefore, put themselves and your company at risk.

Using non-technical, easy-to-understand language, as well as compelling and memorable real-world examples to help re-enforce its teaching points, this long-established, newly updated program does not give legal advice. Rather, it is designed to complement what your company is already doing right now to get the word out about antitrust compliance:

  • alerts users to the risks of antitrust violations;
  • helps guide them away from “risky” behavior
  • encourages them to always seek the expert advice of legal counsel whenever they are unsure about what to do.
How The Program Works
Antitrust Untangled promotes active participation and critical thinking by presenting guidelines about “acceptable,” “questionable,” and “unacceptable” behavior and offers effective, real-world strategies for avoiding most of the common problems encountered in familiar situations – from trade association gatherings to meeting a competitor for lunch.

After reviewing short units of focused text and brief case-study examples, participants complete comprehension questions and application problems about real-life situations. Immediate feedback encourages practical understanding of the laws and teaching points. A Final Test, with explanations of the correct answers and references back to the applicable section(s) of the workbook, help ensure thorough understanding of the material. Finally, participants sign and submit two copies of a Certifying Statement — valuable documentation of each participant’s completion of this comprehensive self-study training program.

Easy To Use And Administer
Antitrust Untangled is easy to use and administer throughout a corporation — even those with many locations or a dispersed sales force. It offers an inexpensive, efficient, and effective means of assuring that everyone is informed, while enabling the company to take a proactive position in antitrust compliance awareness training.
Affordable And Also Customizable To Your Organization
Antitrust Untangled is a very affordable solution, and is available for purchase for user distribution. Significant volume purchase discounts are available, which can enable you to distribute a copy of this comprehensive program to everyone throughout your enterprise who needs it.
