On 23 November 2023, the Competition & Antitrust and Trade Practice of Raajah & Tann Singapore organised an in-person seminar titled “Dawn Raids, Leniency and More with Rise of Cartels”.
In 2023, the world saw a resurgence in investigations into cartel and anti-competitive non-compliance with cases spanning Europe, Asia, and Singapore. This reflects a shift towards scrutinising collaborations beyond traditional price fixing. At the seminar, the speakers shared, among others, strategies and tactics that businesses may adopt to navigate collaboration boundaries and avoid inadvertent cartel violations. They also shared their experience in trade, consumer protection and employment investigations, as well as leniency or voluntary disclosure applications.
The speakers comprised Kala Anandarajah, BBM, Head of the Competition & Antitrust and Trade Practice, and Partners Tanya Tang and Joshua Seet.
