Leniency Applications
Leniency Applications

Leniency regimes allow companies to limit their exposure by reporting involvement in cartel conduct. What should you do if you suspect cartel behavior?

Time is of the essence. Leniency regimes generally give complete amnesty or immunity only to the first to make a report to antitrust authorities. Those following may qualify for discretionary reduced exposure. You may also have to make multiple leniency applications in multiple jurisdictions to ensure full protection. You need a choreographed global strategy.
