Antitrust Issues: U.S. Dept. of Justice getting tougher than ever with Wanda Borges, Esq.

While some may claim the US recession is over, these are still troubling economic times. Often the task of the credit executive is to determine how to continue to sell financially troubled companies yet protect your own company from financial loss. It is understandable that you might want to compare notes with your fellow credit grantors but those types of discussions can lead to antitrust violations, knowingly, or unwittingly. Federal lawsuits over the past several years include the phrases "participating in meetings, conversations...", "agreeing ... to charge", "exchanging information" "combination", "conspiracy". Credit executives, today more than ever, need to know what can or cannot be done, what can or cannot be discussed, when and how credit terms may be adjusted, and what is now covered, under various antitrust statutes. Attendees will learn more about the basis of these statutes and how they can keep from putting their company's hard-earned money at risk by running afoul of the nation's antitrust regulators.

Recent legal and legislative precedents could impact your company's ability to collect what is owed. Prompt pay, bankruptcy, 1099s, lien laws, removables... where does the list end on what is being enacted on the legislative and regulatory front that influences your company's accounts receivable assets? In addition, how will the 2012 election affect the ever changing political climate that ultimately influences all of us both professionally and personally? The Fresh Ground Networking Breakfast will help us explore these questions and provide some valuable insight into the 2012 election.
