Antitrust in Labour Markets: Key Risks and Enforcement Trends
The webinar will provide an insightful discussion on antitrust issues in labour markets, featuring experts from the Turkish Competition Authority, academia, and legal practice in Türkiye and internationally. It will examine why competition authorities are increasingly scrutinising labour market restraints, Türkiye’s approach compared to EU and UK enforcement, and grey zones in HR practices such as benchmarking, no-poach agreements, and AI hiring tools, as well as future enforcement trends and their cross-border implications. The session will delve into the practical compliance takeaways, equipping HR and legal teams with a clear understanding of evolving risks, recent decisions, and strategies to ensure compliance with competition law.
