A(I)SBL/ (I)VZW & competition law: safe haven or legal minefield?

On the 26th of March, & DE BANDT held an inhouse seminar on the combined application of association and competition law to non-profit associations.

This seminar highlighted that a non-profit status does not necessarily confer immunity from legal risks, while demonstrating how appropriate compliance measures can effectively address and mitigate these challenges. 

The seminar explored the key legal obligations applying to non-profit associations, illustrated by practical examples drawn from the firm’s combined experience and expertise in competition and association law.

We were pleased to share our expertise with our clients. If you are also a representative of an A(I)SBL/ (I)VZWs, a public organisation or a private company involved in, or working closely with, such organisations, you might want to listen to the following extracts of this seminar, which we have captured life. 

These concern more particularly:

  • the rules on governance within an association, and the impact of competition law on the fiduciary duties of the directors;


     
  • the rules on admission, withdrawal and exclusion of members of associations.
