As competition enforcement around the world continues, companies must have effective compliance programmes in place to mitigate risk. Edited by Winston partner Peter Crowther, Lexology’s Panoramic: Competition Compliance 2024 guide (formerly Getting The Deal Through) helps legal practitioners, in-house counsel, and business professionals identify those risks across various jurisdictions globally. The Global Overview by Peter Crowther explores recurring issues that are being tackled by different competition authorities around the world, highlighting trends, overarching themes, and specific examples from key jurisdictions.

The various country chapters provide a side-by-side comparison of local insights on key areas, including compliance programme standards and guidance; demonstrating commitment to competition compliance; risk identification, assessment, and mitigation; dealings with competitors and commercial partners; market dominance, mergers and acquisitions, joint venture agreements, investigations, settlement mechanisms, and recent trends. Peter and associate Freya MacCormack authored the chapter on UK competition compliance, while partners Sofia Arguello and Susannah Torpey along with counsel Lauren Duxstad authored the USA chapter of the guide.
