General Editors: Kevin Arquit, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, Jacques Buhart, Herbert Smith LLP, and Olivier Antoine, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP
Self-reporting of cartels to regulatory authorities is a relatively recent development within the global spectrum of competition and antitrust law. Enterprises owning up to non-competitive practices in this way are likely to receive lesser penalties than those involved in investigations initiated by competition and antitrust authorities, but the process must be approached with caution and guided by expert legal knowledge.
This first volume brings together guidance from some of the world’s leading law firms and, under the editorship of two outstanding antitrust lawyers, should serve as a useful comparative country-by-country guide to both general counsel considering leniency and referring practitioners.
