On 13 November 2024, the Competition Council hosted its annual Lawyers’ Forum, which this year focused on prohibited agreements between market participants.
The Forum was attended by representatives of the Competition Council, as well as professionals from law firms and companies. The firm’s partner Dr. iur. Lauris Rasnačs made a presentation on positive and negative aspects of the possible criminalisation of competition law infringements and discussed other instruments of liability by comparing the experience of different states.
The Lawyers’ Forum is organised by Competition Council annually in order to provide an opportunity for competition lawyers to discuss latest challanges and problems in application of competition law.
