Our upcoming webinar explores the growing intersection between employment practices and competition law, with a focus on the CMA’s recent guidance and what it means for employers.

As the CMA increases scrutiny of anti-competitive behaviour in labour markets, it’s essential for HR, legal, and compliance professionals to understand how everyday practices could raise competition law concerns.

In this session, we’ll explore:

  • No-poaching agreements: why even informal understandings not to hire from competitors can breach the law.
  • Wage-fixing agreements: how aligning pay or benefits across firms can lead to enforcement action.
  • Information sharing and benchmarking: what’s permissible, and where the legal boundaries lie.

We’ll break down the CMA’s latest 'Competing for Talent' guidance, including:

  • Key takeaways for employers.
  • Practical examples of risky conduct.
  • Steps you can take to ensure compliance and mitigate risk.

This session is ideal for HR leaders, in-house counsel, compliance officers, and anyone involved in recruitment or workforce strategy.
