Breakfast Meeting: An Insider’s View into a Foreign Competition Authority

Event Description

 

Deadline to Register:  Monday, April 21, 2014

Competition enforcement has spread around the globe in recent decades as competition agencies come of age in developing and emerging economies.  MSBA antitrust council member Michael Jacobs recently returned to the U.S. after spending two years with one of Latin America’s oldest and most respected competition enforcers, the Fiscalía Nacional Económica in Chile.  He will speak about competition enforcement trends in Latin America and in Chile, specifically the challenges facing competition agencies in small emerging economies, competition agencies’ strategies for addressing those challenges, and his experiences as a U.S. lawyer working in a foreign legal system.
