Businesses of all stripes must adjust to the
evolving economic and environmental landscape, especially with the
competition regulator ramping up its focus on key areas, argues one
BigLaw partner.
On this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy
is joined by Maddocks partner Shaun Temby to discuss how and why he
enjoys his work in competition and consumer law, how and why there
have been so many more prosecutions pertaining to cartel activity
in recent times, what such prosecutions mean for lawyers working in
this space, and how best to advise clients with regard to such a
regulatory focus.
Mr Temby also unpacks the state of affairs around greenwashing
activity and how the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission
(ACCC) is viewing this (alongside other regulators), how best to
liaise with in-house legal teams about such greenwashing and
broader environmental, social and governance (ESG) concerns, the
other headline regulatory enforcement priorities that the
competition regulator is engaged in, how lawyers can perceive
these, and his guidance for practitioners in this space moving
forward.
