ABA Section of Antitrust Law Spring Meeting 2017: Antitrust in Latin America

In Latin America, antitrust regimes have expanded dramatically in the past several years. They’ve grown so much that they are relevant to every antitrust counselor. In this Special Report, host Laura Collins talks to Mariana Tavares, Miguel Flores Bernes, and Russ Damtoft, co-chairs of this year’s Antitrust in the Americas Conference, about antitrust in Latin America and what topics the conference will cover. Together, they discuss compliance issues, cartel enforcement, and communication between jurisdictions. They also talk about what will make the conference unique, including its highly interactive panels.

Mariana Tavares de Araujo practices in the areas of antitrust and compliance.

Miguel Flores Bernés focuses his practice at Greenberg Traurig on antitrust and competition issues affecting clients in various industries.

Laura Collins is an associate in Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer’s antitrust, competition, and trade group.
