The landscape of antitrust risk is undergoing a transformation. Amidst the ever-evolving priorities of governments and antitrust authorities worldwide, companies are finding themselves inadvertently entangled in the complexities of antitrust regulations.

Antitrust issues, along with associated competition and consumer concerns, have become central considerations for boards when strategizing and conducting business operations. Violations of antitrust laws not only carry hefty fines but also necessitate substantial changes in a company's operational practices and interactions with its customer base. 

Competition and consumer laws are increasingly intertwined with corporate conduct and customer relations, particularly evident in the technology sector, and are likely to remain significant considerations in the foreseeable future.
