Antitrust enforcers around the world continue to make cartel enforcement their top priority. With fines and jail sentences at or near all-time levels, the stakes for multi-national firms could not be higher. Covington’s leading international cartel practice helps clients manage these high-stakes and increasingly complex and multijurisdictional matters. From representing clients in U.S. DOJ grand jury, European Commission, and other competition authority investigations, to securing amnesty or leniency under government programs, to defending criminal, civil, and administrative proceedings, we stand ready to assist clients who find themselves caught up in these most serious of antitrust matters.
We have defended clients in the most significant global cartel investigations in recent history, including the auto parts, air cargo, air passenger, and LIBOR-rate inquiries. We also conduct internal investigations, perform antitrust audits, and design tailored compliance programs to help our clients avoid costly investigations.
