Dawn raids by competition authorities are back, and becoming increasingly common. So, how should you prepare your client in case it happens to them?
In this week’s NLJ, Ludovica Pizzetti, partner, and William Radcliffe, associate, Arnold & Porter, write: ‘Dawn raids continue to be daunting experiences: fast-moving and data-intensive processes that companies can never be sufficiently ready for, and where even the most trivial-seeming procedural irregularity carries a several-million-euro price tag, regardless of any underlying competition law breaches.’
The authors set out the latest trends in raids by competition authorities, highlight examples where new types of cartels have been pursued, and explain how modern hybrid working practices affect liability for both companies and employees.
