This guide is a tool for antitrust compliance that can be used by association professionals, managers, and staff, as well as the counsel who advise associations and the firms and individuals who participate in association activities. It helps association professionals and members identify the antitrust issues that typical association activities may present and offers general practical guidance for conducting association activities. Because the members of trade and professional associations typically are competitors, the varied activities that associations conduct are subject to close scrutiny under the laws regulating competition, marketing practices, and advertising. Anyone who participates in association activities or attends association meetings - whether an association member, executive, manager, or staff employee - must be highly sensitive to the antitrust risks involved in such participation and must adhere to safeguards designed to meet those risks

The Section of Antitrust Law has developed a series of general guides to aid non-antitrust lawyers' and business managers' understanding of when and how the antitrust laws apply to various situations. They are not a substitute for legal advice but, rather, are offered as background to help spot issues so that advice may be sought from an experienced attorney. The booklets are about the size of a pocket journal and have a space on the back to identify the law firm or company and contact counsel. They are available singly and, at substantial discounts, in convenient packs of 25 copies each.
