We are delighted to announce the forthcoming new book that we are co-authoring on competition law and associations (trade and professional associations): The Competition Law Guide for Associations. This new book, to be published by Carswell in 2011 and the first of its kind in Canada, will provide an overview of Canadian competition law relevant to trade and professional associations and discuss key areas of association activities that can, in some instances, raise competition/antitrust law risk (e.g., association membership criteria and discipline, association rules and codes of conduct, advertising regulation and restrictions, fee guidelines and tariffs, self-regulation and codes of conduct, meetings and information exchanges, surveys and studies and joint activities including joint purchasing, marketing, production, research and development, marketing and lobbying and advocacy). This new book will also provide guidelines for association activities to reduce competition/antitrust law risk.
For more information about competition law and trade and professional associations, including the application of the newly amended Competition Act to trade and professional association activities, visit our competition law and associations page: Competition Law and Associations.
