The value of the Mobile Unit of the Law No. 27,442 is updated

On February 25, 2025, Resolution No. 21/2025 was published in the Official Gazette, by means of which the Secretariat of Industry and Trade updated the value of the Mobile Unit (“MU”) defined in Section 85 of Antitrust Law No. 27,442 (the “AL”).
