Thomson Reuters Inaugural Competition & Trade Practices Summit

Competition policy is a tool that, if got right, can stimulate economic growth without the need for bumper stimulus packages from the government. Reform to the Trade Practices Act is gathering pace. The government is working to create an environment in which competition can thrive, and it is essential that organisations are aware of the implications these changes will have on their industries and the way they do business.

Thomson Reuters is proud to announce the release of the Inaugural Competition & Trade Practices Summit. The agenda will be addressed by some of Australia’s leading Trade Practices experts, each analysing a core element of recent TPA reforms and helping you understand how it will impact your business.

Key contributions from:

• Sarah Court, Commissioner, Australian Competition and Consumer Commission
• Russell V Miller AM, Partner, Minter Ellison
• Professor Stephen Corones, Faculty of Law, Queensland University of Technology
• Dr Caron Beaton-Wells, Director of Studies, Competition Law, University of Melbourne
• Jan Redfern, Trade Practices Consultant, Sparke Helmore
• Stephen Ridgeway, Partner, Blake Dawson
