Identification and assessment of cartel risk is an essential component of overall business risk management. In an environment where competition authorities around the world, including in the EU, are stepping up their cartel enforcement activity, it becomes an even greater strategic imperative to understand the relevant rules and ensure appropriate compliance.
Chambers Global Practice Guides – Cartels 2024 aims to provide practical answers to key questions on the legislative and procedural framework applicable to cartel-related investigations, covering issues such as dawn raids, immunity/leniency, privilege, sanctions and private damages actions. The Guide enables a first-level survey and comparison across 17 key jurisdictions around the world.
VBB competition co-head Andrzej Kmiecik, senior counsel Richard Burton and counsel Catherine Gordley have co-authored the Guide’s EU chapter, drawing on longstanding experience handling EU cartel defence throughout a case’s lifecycle, from the collection of evidence to leniency and settlement advice, full contested proceedings, and appeals, in multiple high-profile EU investigations. The team advises companies worldwide on how to understand and equip themselves to deal with cartel risk: please contact them if your business needs any cartel-related advice.
