Dawn Raids

Dawn Raids for suspected infringements of the competition rules can be high profile events (as evidenced by the recent publicity over British Airways), and at the very least traumatic for those on the receiving end. The stakes are high but there is no time for "learning on the job" once a dawn raid is under way. Being prepared in advance is therefore a key responsibility for the in-house lawyer.

This talk will cover the regulatory and legal background underpinning dawn raids and then move on to the practical aspects of how to handle a raid and making preparations in advance.
