Parental Liability under Competition Law - A Bite-Sized Guide

Introduction

Parent companies have long been held liable and subject to significant penalties for the anti-competitive conduct of their subsidiaries, even when direct involvement is limited. This exposure can continue even after such a subsidiary is sold. Recent legislation and case law have expanded the scope of parental liability, impacting how it is interpreted and enforced.
