This program enhances your knowledge of the antitrust laws and gives you the tools you need to insure compliance with those laws. Corporate attorneys, in-house counsel, commercial practitioners, and those practicing in the trade regulation arena will benefit from the following seminar information:
•Understanding why the antitrust compliance program was established, as well as the program’s basic components and goals;
•Learning how antitrust compliance issues have been affected by technology;
•Properly administering the program;
•Understanding how a successful antitrust compliance program factors into sentencing and leniency; and
•Recognizing pitfalls and fulfilling requirements.

Increase your familiarity with procedures before administrative agencies and
enhance your ability to deal with a variety of administrative hearing issues!
Practitioners are not always well-versed with administrative hearing procedures and the rights their clients may have in cases before administrative agencies. Likewise, administrative law judges are not as conversant as they should be with the administrative framework they operate under. Get the best practice tips you need for the successful prosecution, defense, and decision-making processes in administrative law cases with the information provided in this seminar. Administrative law judges and attorneys who practice before administrative law agencies will benefit from the relevant topics covered, including subpoena issues, the right to cross-examine witnesses, and procedural requirements. The program includes a mock hearing in which our administrative law judges play the roles of attorneys prosecuting and defending a case, while an administrative law judge presides at the hearing.
