Wilson Sonsini’s Brent Snyder (Partner, Antitrust & Competition) will participate in the American Bar Association’s 2022 Antitrust in Asia conference in Singapore on December 8-9, 2022. Brent will moderate a roundtable panel of senior officials from ASEAN competition agencies as they discuss their agency’s work and the development of competition law throughout ASEAN.
About the event, from the ABA event website:
Antitrust enforcement in Asia continues to expand as competition agencies in China, Korea, India and Japan launch cases of global significance. In addition, newer regimes are beginning to make their mark in ASEAN countries such as Malaysia and the Philippines. This conference will draw upon senior enforcers, in-house counsel and practitioners from China, Korea, Japan and other Asian countries, as well as the U.S. and Europe. The event, which is an important part of the Section’s continued and expanding outreach to the competition community in Asia, will provide an unparalleled opportunity for attendees to hear directly from top policy makers. Topics include: merger control process and remedies, unfair trade practices and consumer protection, leniency and cartel enforcement, procedural challenges, digital platforms, and enforcer roundtables.
No competition or consumer protection professional with clients or matters based in or touching Asia can afford to miss this major conference.
