Did I Hear That Correctly? DOJ Antitrust Division Seeks to Criminally Prosecute Monopolization

This week, a DOJ Antitrust Division official signaled a significant expansion of its criminal enforcement program. While speaking at the ABA White Collar Conference in San Francisco, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Richard Powers said that the Division is considering criminally prosecuting violations of Section 2 of the Sherman Act, which prohibits monopolization. This is a major break from long-standing Division policy that it would prosecute only per se violations of the antitrust laws, and raises potentially significant due process concerns.

ACC - Signature CLE: Antitrust Enforcement Under the Trump Administration: Hot Topics and Key Trends

When President Trump was elected, there was an assumption that there would be limited federal antitrust enforcement under his administration.  This assumption has turned out to be wildly incorrect.  Federal antitrust enforcers have challenged mega-mergers such as the AT&T/Time Warner merger.  They are actively investigating corporate hiring practices, including “no-poach” agreements among competitors and “non-compete” clauses in franchise agreements.  They are also scrutinizing the data privacy practices and growing market power of large Silicon Valley companies such as Facebook, Google, and Amazon.

LSTA - Antitrust Issues in Syndicated Loan Transactions

Crowell & Moring panelists will discuss antitrust compliance issues for both US and European syndicated loan transactions. The session is particularly timely as the European Commission is currently reviewing potential antitrust concerns raised by syndicated lending arrangements with plans to issue a report by year end.
