Government contractors face a growing range of antitrust concerns that are unique to the industry—from how the FTC, DOJ, and DOD analyze defense mergers, to managing information sharing in prime/sub relationships, to navigating antitrust investigations involving classified information. Join us over the coming months for a new series on contractors and competition, where we will explore best practices for in-house counsel and procurement teams to reduce risk in this complex area.
In our first Bloomberg Law article of this series, Crowell attorneys Lauren Fleming and Yuan Zhou discuss how proactive strategies can reduce risks when it comes to teaming.
