Antitrust and Colluding with Competitors

Staying ahead of the competition is an immense challenge in today's fiercely competitive marketplace. Regrettably, there are instances where employees and firms resort to unethical practices to gain a competitive edge. It is crucial to ensure that your team is focused on nurturing relationships with prospects and clients, rather than engaging in deals with rivals.

In this microlesson, we explain how competition laws can be very strict when it comes to competitors entering agreements where they set prices, the number of goods sold, or the quality of available goods. We teach employees how to spot these schemes and respond in a polite, professional, and smart way.

• Employees should be on the lookout if a competitor proposes something that would set prices, divide customers, clients, or territories, force out other competitors, or limit the quantity of goods or services available.
• If a competitor does any of that: (1) clearly state that you don’t agree, (2) leave or do something you’ll remember, and then (3) tell your boss, a compliance leader or a legal leader what happened.
