The Supreme Court in 2022

Antitrust has hit the mainstream, with the political branches and the public writ large keenly interested in its application. To what extent will the Supreme Court pick up the mantle? How, if at all, will the Court’s 6-3 conservative supermajority impact antitrust jurisprudence? A panel of experts will forecast what to expect from the Court on antitrust issues in the coming years.

Merger Enforcement Changes in 2022 under the Biden Administration

The panel will cover how, if at all, U.S. antitrust agencies have changed their approaches to remedies and willingness to litigate in merger investigations, pursued arguably new theories of harm, adopted new policies such as close-at-your-own-risk letters and announcing a focus on PE deals, and how these changes have or have not affected businesses considering mergers.

Antitrust Crimes & Corporate Compliance and Accountability

Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco recently gave a speech in New York about prosecuting white collar crime with a heavy emphasis on self-reporting of corporate misconduct. What does this mean for antitrust crimes and what are the implications of this new DOJ policy announcement on corporate compliance programs tailored to antitrust crimes? The panel will also address (1) the 2022 revisions to the Antitrust Division’s Leniency Program for certain antitrust crimes and highlight what corporate counsel need to know about the revisions and (2) the DOJ’s re-invigorated criminal enforcement of monopolization in violation Section 2 of the Sherman Act. In discussing these recent updates, panelists will touch on cooperation obligations, pros and cons of cooperating in a criminal investigation, and dawn raids/search warrants and other tools available to the DOJ in investigating antitrust and related crimes.
