Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP

  • Understanding and adapting to U.S. cartel enforcement trends:
    • Detection:
      • Greater DOJ emphasis on ex officio tools, including deploying dedicated in-house investigators.

    • Investigation:
      • Emphasis on building cases via affirmative investigative techniques.
      • Particular concern about use of ephemeral messaging applications.
      • Continued focus on Section 2 of the Sherman Act and labor-market collusion.
