Loyola University Chicago School of Law - Philip H. Corboy Law Center, 25 E. Pearson, Room 1303, Chicago, IL 60611
Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC ChicagoIn 2019, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice released its long-awaited “Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs in Criminal Antitrust Investigations.” These guidelines explain how the Division will evaluate antitrust compliance programs when considering enforcement against an alleged antitrust violator. Although the contents are not entirely surprising, they differ in some respects from the guidelines released earlier by the Fraud Division of the Department of Justice, and from the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
At this program an expert panel representing government, private practitioners, in-house counsel and academia will discuss how to understand these guidelines and apply them in a way most likely to persuade the Antitrust Division of the good intent of the company – and to reduce the chances of an antitrust violation!
ACC Chicago and the Institute for Consumer Antitrust, Loyola University Chicago School of Law invite you to attend. Lunch will be provided, along with ample time for questions and discussion.
If CLE is not needed, please RSVP to antitrust@luc.edu
