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 WorksAntitrust 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 lunchAfter 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.
