Kate McNeece at the ABA’s 2026 International Law Section Annual Conference

Join Goodmans Partner Kate McNeece at the American Bar Association’s 2026 International Law Section Annual Conference in Washington, DC on Thursday, May 14, 2026, from 8:30 – 10:00 AM EDT for the session, “Collaboration or Cartel? Navigating ESG Alliances Amid Legal and Political Challenges (CLE)”. 

The panel will examine the growing tension between ESG-driven collaboration and antitrust compliance. As companies pursue ambitious sustainability goals, authorities face challenges in balancing cooperation with preserving competition. The discussion will address legal ambiguity, fragmented global approaches and risks, such as cartelization through price fixing or information exchange. Panelists will explore practical strategies to structure ESG agreements that remain compliant, including indispensability tests, transparency, and residual competition safeguards. 

This session is ideal for professionals seeking clarity on how to align sustainability initiatives with antitrust principles while avoiding enforcement pitfalls.
