Join us for an engaging webinar where we discuss the impact of political and economic shifts, both in Canada and abroad, and what they mean for regulatory compliance in the areas of competition/antitrust law and foreign investment law as new rules enter into force this year. Our speakers will also provide updates on the continuing changes to Canada’s Competition Act and Investment Canada Act, including the expanded right of private access coming into effect in June 2025.
The discussion will offer practical considerations for both businesses and legal practitioners navigating the evolving regulatory and political landscape.
A brief Q&A session will follow the presentation.
