    Global Problem Solving from Covington: Deal with Complex Problems Anywhere in the World

Cartel Defense and Investigations

Cartel enforcement continues to be a top priority for competition regulators around the world, with reports of global cartel fines surging in recent years.

With stakes this high, you need a global strategy that is sensitive to legal risks across jurisdictions while positioning you to achieve business goals.

Through the full life cycle of civil and criminal cartel and abuse of dominance investigations, we seamlessly manage parallel investigations in multiple jurisdictions and provide critical insight on agency goals.

We drive to the core of the facts in every case to identify possible defenses and have successfully asserted novel jurisdictional and market-based arguments with enforcers. Our aggressive defense of our clients’ legal rights has helped them avoid adverse government action in many cases.

Our team has defended clients in almost every major global cartel investigation in recent history:

  • automotive parts
  • air cargo
  • air passenger
  • car glass
  • shipping container
  • DRAM
  • freight forwarding
  • LIBOR
  • Forex
  • marine hose
  • power cables
  • TFT-LCD

We also conduct internal investigations, design compliance programs and perform audits, and provide “second opinions” in high-stakes matters.
