We are pleased to announce this upcoming antitrust leniency luncheon conference, moderated by our friends at Sutts, Strosberb LLP

Corporate Leniency in an Era of Increased Enforcement

Presented by the State Bar of Michigan’s Antitrust, Franchise and Trade Regulation Section.

It’s early morning and you are driving into the office.  The phone rings.  It is your best client in a panic.  The morning supervisor called with surprising news: the FBI executed a federal warrant on their facility and federal officers are seizing cell phones, computers, hard drives, and hard files.

What does this mean?  What happens next?  Are they at risk individually?

In this era of increased antitrust enforcement, every practitioner should be familiar with the Department of Justice’s Corporate and Individual Leniency Programs.  Knowing how and when to cooperate with the DOJ can mean the difference between amnesty and millions in fines/penalties and incarceration.  This panel of experts will discuss the applicability of the Antitrust Criminal Penalty Enhancement and Reform Act of 2004 (ACPERA), issues in-house counsel face in considering leniency, and the interaction of leniency applications with subsequent criminal investigations and civil lawsuits.

PANEL

Kevin Culum, United States Department of Justice (Cleveland, OH)

Jay Himes, Labaton Sucharow (New York, NY)

Gordon Lang, Nixon Peabody (Washington, DC)
