Criminal Antitrust: White Collar & Regulatory Enforcement
From criminal antitrust compliance training and counseling, to grand jury investigations, to amnesty applications, to extradition proceedings, to litigation, our antitrust lawyers have broad experience in advising and assisting clients with criminal antitrust matters. Our clients participate in diverse industries and include Fortune 50 companies as well as individuals — conducting business both in the United States and abroad.
We have defended companies against state and federal government charges of price fixing, bid rigging, market allocation, customer allocation, and numerous forms of fraud and corruption. Our representations often involve dealing with foreign authorities, including those in Asia, Europe and Canada. Among the Group's client representations, we have been instrumental in the following:
- Assisting a U.S. national in obtaining a judgment of acquittal in a criminal bid rigging trial
- Negotiating an amnesty agreement whereby the client company and its employees avoided any criminal charges associated with an alleged price fixing conspiracy
- Helping a Japanese national avoid extradition to the U.S. for alleged violations of the antitrust laws
- Representing various companies and their employees in navigating criminal grand jury investigations and avoiding any form of prosecution, plea, or admission of wrongdoing in those proceedings.
