During his campaign, President Obama vowed that his administration would meet the "clear need in this country for the reinvigoration of antitrust enforcement."

Our experienced antitrust and white collar crime attorneys spoke on the implications of these changes for companies of all sizes and provided some concrete ideas for how companies can prepare for the  expected increase in antitrust and white collar crime enforcement.
