Program Overview: What is Competition and Antitrust Compliance Corporate Training?
Competition & Antitrust Compliance Corporate Training is a 27-hour instructor-led program for legal, compliance, sales, and commercial teams. It covers competition law foundations, global enforcement and penalties, cartel and bid-rigging controls, abuse of dominance, merger control and filing triggers, and compliance program design with audit readiness. Labs focus on the workflows teams own: screening agreements, reviewing pricing, and documenting dawn-raid readiness.
Training runs across seven modules with four practice sessions built on enforcement realities. Participants screen commercial agreements for risk, review pricing changes, assess vertical restraints, test merger filing triggers, and rehearse dawn-raid response under time pressure. Instructors coach each exercise, sharpening how teams document decisions and spot exposure early. The program closes with a capstone antitrust compliance simulation the team must navigate end to end.
One careless email can cost a company dearly: cartel exposure hides in pricing threads, trade association chats, and bid patterns nobody reviewed. Enforcement is global, penalties are severe, and ignorance is not a defense. This program teaches teams to operate inside the lines: screening agreements, controlling information flows, and documenting the readiness that turns a dawn raid from panic into procedure.
The capstone is a pressure test, not a paper exercise: a full antitrust compliance simulation where events unfold and the team must respond in real time. Participants triage a dawn raid, decide what a pricing thread really means, and determine whether a deal triggers a merger filing, documenting every call as they go. The team leaves with a simulation debrief that reads like an enforcement post-mortem of their own decisions: exactly the review that sharpens judgment before a real authority comes knocking.
Whether your training needs center on a new compliance function or a refresher for experienced teams, the content adapts to role and experience. Guided labs focus on the workflows your cohort owns: screening commercial agreements, reviewing pricing changes, and documenting dawn-raid readiness, so skills transfer directly to the job.

Recognize Competition Risks and Practice Evidence-Based Compliance Responses
Edstellar connects competition-law concepts with conduct screening, contract review, and compliance response scenarios. Participants examine sample pricing, bid, distribution, and deal records before rehearsing a simulated investigation. Review focuses on recognizing issues that require escalation, preserving relevant evidence, and designing practical controls rather than making definitive legal judgments from training cases.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore commercial responsibilities and competition-law familiarity to identify gaps in recognizing collusion indicators, distribution risks, deal triggers, and escalation obligations.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish conduct principles and enforcement context before cartel screening, vertical restraints, and merger cases, then monitoring controls and the investigation simulation.
- Step 03
Align
We align competition-compliance facilitation with legal, sales, procurement, and corporate development roles, adjusting case complexity to industry context and existing controls.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor fictional bid records, distribution clauses, and transaction facts to representative business activities without disclosing sensitive pricing or actual competitive strategies.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants flag conduct risks, review clauses, and rehearse tip triage, receiving feedback on issue recognition, evidence preservation, monitoring criteria, and escalation decisions.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the simulation response for justified priorities, appropriate referral of legal questions, clear evidence handling, and practical controls addressing identified risks.
