Summary

Concurrent Antitrust Criminal and Civil Proceedings: Identifying Problems and Planning for Success offers guidance for practitioners dealing with parallel criminal and civil antitrust cases. These dual proceedings have become increasingly prominent in today's legal environment, and with increasingly active foreign competition authorities, are likely to continue to play an important role in the antitrust and competition environment. The most salient issues and risks that private attorneys can face in both prosecuting and defending a client involved in parallel proceedings are examined with some of the implications of paths in criminal defense for the civil proceedings considered.
