The Class Action & Private Litigation Committee of the New York State Bar Association’s Antitrust Section is hosting a virtual program on June 17 at 12 p.m. EST exploring the growing interest in Robinson-Patman Act (“RPA”) class actions amidst renewed FTC enforcement. Our panel of experienced antitrust litigators and a leading economist will examine why RPA claims present significant challenges for class certification, the procedural and substantive hurdles both plaintiffs and defendants face, and the implications for private litigation from recent developments in FTC’s enforcement of the RPA.

The federal government has identified purported ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’ in small business programs as a major focus of its current enforcement efforts. As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). 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.
