Faros is creating a unique ‘glossary’ for competition law and data protection law. Instead of the traditional approach, we have opted for a fun and engaging series of videos to explain key concepts in our areas of expertise. These short videos are set in a playful ‘puppet theatre’ format, with our specialists guiding you through the concepts.
We release two videos each month via LinkedIn and e-mail. You can find the complete series of published videos on the ‘Glossary’ page of our website and on the Faros YouTube channel. Want to receive these entertaining videos straight to your inbox? Send us an email at glossary@faros.eu!
Trade federations are highly interesting from an economic point of view, but also very sensitive in terms of competition law. Indeed, within professional federations, competitors meet in various contexts. Both nationally and internationally, trade federations are therefore under the keen scrutiny of competition authorities.
The Faros Compliance Team aims to support trade federations in addressing the challenges of competition law compliance. To this end, Faros is launching an initiative, beginning with a survey designed to map competition law compliance across the federation landscape. This survey is set to launch in early 2025 – stay tuned!
