Antitrust Enforcement in Labor Markets: Navigating Risks and What to Expect in 2021 and Beyond

Webinar | 09.28.21, 9:00 AM EDT - 10:00 AM EDT

Register

Since the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission jointly released the Antitrust Guidance for Human Resource Professionals in 2016, the DOJ has been actively and increasingly investigating criminal conduct in employment practices, issuing indictments and opening companies to follow-on civil class action lawsuits. And President Biden’s recent Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the 21st Century specifically calls out labor market competition, further ratcheting up the pressure.


In this webinar, our speakers, experienced practitioners with both DOJ and private practice insights will discuss the current state of play with respect to antitrust enforcement in labor markets, what to expect with respect to additional enforcement and initiatives under the Biden administration, and practical tips on how companies can mitigate the antitrust risks in this area.

Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors. ...
