The New Law on Antitrust Damages Actions – What Does It Mean for Businesses
On Thursday, March 9th, the American Chamber of Commerce and one of the leading global law firms CMS hosted “The New Law on Antitrust Damages Actions – What Does It Mean for Businesses” event at the Esplanade Zagreb Hotel. The event focused on explaining how any citizen or business has a right to full compensation for the harm caused to them by an infringement of the antitrust rules and how the exercise of this right should be facilitated with the transposition of the Directive on Antitrust Damages Actions to local legislation. Our competition-themed business breakfast alternated between four modules: a short presentation on the transposition of the Directive on Antitrust Damages Actions to local legislation, the Vitamins Cartel case study, panel discussion and a Q/A session.
