Government investigations of suspected anticompetitive activity can raise significant financial risk for corporations and their employees, and impose a distracting burden on senior executives. The Firm has successfully guided dozens of clients through these investigations, many of which have involved multiple regulatory authorities from different regions of the world. We bring decades of experience to bear in resolving government investigations on behalf of our clients. Our lawyers have the experience necessary to make accurate case assessments and savvy strategy decisions. For example: • Government investigations can lead to liability in private damages actions. We know what steps to take to limit those damages. • The global reach of many corporations exposes them to investigatory risk simultaneously in multiple jurisdictions. We know how to coordinate a global response to minimize that risk. • Some cases are appropriate candidates for government leniency. We know which cases might merit leniency, and how and when to make effective applications for government leniency. The Firm has represented corporations around the world in investigations conducted by the Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, the European Commission and the regulatory authorities in EC member states.
