Developing and implementing customized antitrust audit and compliance programs is crucial for limiting litigation risks. The economic analysis allows evaluating judicial risks raised by certain practices and identifying behavior likely to raise antitrust concern. Microeconomix helps particularly its clients to evaluate their position within a market, the effects of pricing policy overhaul or to create a grid of analysis of companies' costs to insure that their practices do not contravene competition law rules.

Microeconomix also assists companies to set-up or improve efficient compliance programs. Microeconomix helps to design an antitrust compliance policy, facilitates the implementation of the program and offers its support in creation a system that enables continuous monitoring of the program’s effectiveness. In close cooperation with our client we define the antitrust compliance policy to deter antitrust actions. Once the antitrust compliance policy is designed, we help to create internal documents explaining the policy and offer training sessions for the employees. Finally, we introduce the monitoring of the compliance program by discussing local employee involvement and offering antitrust audits. We also offer audit assessing the effectiveness of the antitrust compliance program.
