John Terzaken, Global Co-Chair of the Firm’s Antitrust and Trade Regulation Practice, was quoted in a Global Competition Review (GCR) article titled, “DOJ strike force member warns EPA.” The article discussed a recent report from the Office of the Inspector General for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) surrounding how weaker data management methods may be hampering the agency’s ability to detect bid-rigging. John explained how the report aligns with the trend of governmental agencies more broadly focusing on sophisticated data tools as their best way to investigate and contrast potential malpractice. He noted, “Private companies working with the government as contractors should be very wary of making sure they are ready and have systems in place to prevent any misconduct.”
