Antitrust conduct claims seek to challenge business practices that are anticompetitive.  Setting aside cartel conduct, businesses routinely make decisions to give their business a strategic advantage in the market.  Those decisions are by design intended to make it harder for other companies to compete.  Aggressive competition is good for consumers as it leads to better products and services, as well as lower prices.  For this reason, antitrust has placed very limited responsibility on a business to consider the impact its conduct has on other competitors.

This session will examine how conduct is evaluated under the antitrust laws, where antitrust has determined business conduct can become anticompetitive, and what the consequences would be if the law adopted a different approach.
