Competition law enforcement activity continues to expand globally, and in particular in Latin America where major M&A transactions, global and local cartel conduct, and aggressive conduct by market leaders face close scrutiny. The Conference will include interactive discussions with experts from throughout the region on cutting edge topics, including;

• Insights on developments in domestic and international cartelenforcement from the U.S. Department of Justice and counterparts incartel enforcement throughout the region

• Big data, competition and consumers - privacy and data protection as a competition issue

• Treatment of minority interests and “associative agreements” undermerger control regimes

• Antitrust issues in energy and infrastructure, including the twin concernsof collusion and corruption

• Developing effective and innovative compliance programs coveringantitrust and anti-corruption: insights from corporate counsel

• Current issues in antitrust, intellectual property and distribution

Special focus will be given to the emerging antitrust issues that General Counsel and their advisors should anticipate in the dynamic regulatory environment their companies operate in throughout the region. The program also includes a round table where enforcement leaders from the Americas will answer questions on their enforcement priorities, challenges, and collaborative efforts with their counterparts across borders.

The conference provides a unique opportunity for participants to meet with government officials who are playing leading roles in competition law enforcement, as well as corporate counsel from throughout the region and leaders of the antitrust bar who are handling antitrust matters making headlines in the region.

The conference will be held at the JW Marriott in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, the location of the 2016 Olympic Games and a regional hub for the energy and infrastructure sector.

We look forward to seeing you in Rio.

Latin America’s role in international antitrust enforcement is growing every year and is shaping the development of domestic and cross-border commerce in the region. This conference provides a unique opportunity to understand the important developments and priorities of antitrust enforcement agencies throughout the Americas. You will have the opportunity to meet with key enforcers from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile and Mexico, as well as leading private practitioners and corporate counsel from around the region who are handling antitrust matters that are making headlines in these countries. For lawyers in Latin America, this conference also presents a great opportunity to meet government enforcement officials and top antitrust lawyers from the U.S. and Canada, as well as to learn more about recent developments in antitrust enforcement in North America.

THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 201508h00 – 17h30 REGISTRATION

08h45 – 09h00 WELCOME REMARKS

09h00 – 10h15 HOT TOPICS IN CARTEL ENFORCEMENTLeniency has become an attractive tool for cartel participants, and antitrust agencies throughout the Americas are immersed in cartel investigations. This panel will explore a variety of issues from the perspective of enforcers and the defense. Topics considered will include the intricacies of cartel proceedings in multiple jurisdictions, including intermediate goods and component parts, double counting and the potential for dual prosecution of individuals; differing approaches with leniency confidentiality and safeguards; and the relevance of compliance programs. Come hear about the latest enforcement initiatives and get your questions ready.

HENRY, Morrison & Foerster LLP, Washington, DCCarlos RAGAZZO, Mattos Filho Advogados, Rio de Janeiro, BrazilPanelists:Felipe IRARRAZABAL, National Economic Prosector, Fiscalía Nacional Economica, Santiago, ChileAna Paula MARTINEZ, Levy Salomao Advogados, São Paulo, BrazilFelipe SERRANO, Advisor to the Superintendent, Superintendence of Industry and Commerce, Bogota, Colombia Brent SNYDER, Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Criminal Enforcement, U.S. Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, Washington, DC

10h15 – 11h30 ANTITRUST ISSUES IN LICENSING AND DISTRIBUTIONLicensing of intellectual property, the use of standard essential patents and online distribution are reshaping many consumer industries. Standard setting creates winners and losers and may quash competition at the same time as it promotes innovation. Restrictions on online distribution including bans on internet sales, pricing restrictions and “best pricing” commitments also create competitive issues upon which regulators are focused. Our panel will examine these issues and areas of antitrust sensitivity for IP holders, licensees, producers and distributors.

Conference Agenda

11h45 – 13h00 COMPETITION, CONSUMERS, AND BIG DATAIn the rapidly evolving digital economy, personal data is the new currency. Control and processing of large amounts of consumer data can be a source of market power. Privacy protections can affect competition and consumer choices. What are the responsibilities of data custodians and rights of their customers? This panel will provide a dynamic discussion on the interplay of privacy, competition, and consumer protection laws and policies in the digital economy. Moderators: Pamela JONES HARBOUR, Senior Vice President & Legal Officer, Global Compliance & Privacy, Herbalife, Los Angeles, CAMariana VILLELA, Veirano Advogados, Rio de Janeiro, BrazilPanelists:Carol CONWAY, Director Regulatory Affairs, UOL, São Paulo, BrazilMiguel DEL PINO, Marvel O’Farrell & Mairal, Buenos Aires, ArgentinaAllen P.

13h00 – 14h00 LUNCH

14h15 – 15h30 COMPETITOR COLLABORATIONS, MINORITY ACQUISITIONS AND ASSOCIATIVE AGREEMENTS Minority interest acquisitions and competitor collaborations increasingly attract antitrust scrutiny worldwide, while the process, timing and standards for assessing these transactions varies across countries. CADE has recently clarified that exclusive distribution agreements may need to be notified for merger clearance and acquisitions of interests as low as 5% may trigger merger review. Other jurisdictions also are focusing on the competitive implications of these transactions and how they should be reviewed. Our panel will explore recent international developments and agency guidance, and discuss how best to identify and minimize risks in minority acquisitions and competitor/associative agreements.Moderators:Michael G. EGGE, Latham & Watkins LLP, Washington, DCCristianne S.

15h30 – 15h45 BREAK

15h45 – 17h00 ANTITRUST ISSUES IN ENERGY AND INFRASTRUCTUREEnergy and infrastructure projects involve huge investments, capital requirements and financial risks, complex procurements, concession agreements, global players, natural monopolies, regulated markets, state owned entities. All these factors are ideal ingredients to create a range of antitrust concerns for market participants and regulators alike. Our panel will examine a variety of issues faced by the regulators, companies and counsel that advise them, including teaming arrangements, collusive bidding, information sharing, benchmarks, competitor collaborations and mergers.Moderator:Marcelo CALLIARI, TozziniFreire Advogados, São Paulo, BrazilPanelists:Mauricio JARAMILLO, Gomez Pinzon Zuleta, Bogota, ColombiaIgnacio NAVARRO, Commissioner, Federal Economic Competition Commission (COFECE), Mexico City, Mexico Lorena PAVIC, Carey, Santiago, Chile Marcos Paulo VERISSIMO, Machado Meyer Sendacz Opice Advogados, São Paulo, Brazil

We encourage anyone traveling from outside of Brazil, to attend the ABA/IBRAC conference, to verify the requirements to enter Brazil.

The ABA & IBRAC will provide a standard letter confirming the reason you or your guests wish to enter the country and request that a visa be issued promptly. To obtain a visa letter, please contact email at-registrar@americanbar.org with Visa Request in the subject line.

We are only able to provide visa letters for delegates whose conference registration fees have been paid in full. If we have already supplied you with a visa letter for your guest(s) and the name of that guest subsequently changes, we can only provide another visa letter upon receipt of the original letter. The ABA & IBRAC reserve the right to refuse to issue visa letters at its discretion.

A full refund of registration fees will be issued for delegates whose request for a visa was denied.

As the Brazilian Foreign Office bases its actions on reciprocity, visitors from some foreign coun-tries will require a visa which is usually processed within two working days by applying to the nearest Brazilian Embassy or Consulate. Requirements for a tourist visa include a passport valid for at least six months from the date of arrival, one passport size photograph and a round trip ticket. International travelers should check their visa requirements with their local Embassy or Consulate.
