Antitrust and competition laws are developing increasingly around the world. Authorities consistently tackle a large spectrum of cartels and other anti-competitive conduct, such as misuse of market power or dominance, which is being detected, prosecuted, and sanctioned by antitrust enforcers worldwide. Significant fines, major reputational harm, criminal charges, and multi-million-dollar damage cases are all possible outcomes of the violation of antitrust laws.
