Our lawyers have broad experience in the criminal antitrust realm. We have represented clients from diverse industries (from production of commodities to highly specialized goods and services) in investigations and prosecutions brought by antitrust authorities in the United States, Canada and the European Union. We have defended U.S. and non-U.S. clients, both corporate and individual, against allegations of bid rigging, price fixing, market allocation, customer allocation, monopolization and other forms of alleged anticompetitive conduct. Our lawyers have handled all phases of antitrust investigations and prosecutions, including advising clients served with search warrants, grand jury subpoenas and other requests for production of documents, negotiating leniency and amnesty arrangements, counseling witnesses and subjects in connection with grand jury proceedings and representing our clients at trial. We also have substantial experience representing clients in related civil litigation, brought by class plaintiffs, opt-out plaintiffs, indirect purchasers and others.
