Event Synopsis:
In its continued effort to deter anticompetitive conduct and other violations affecting government procurement, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) created the Procurement Collusion Strike Force in 2019. It is comprised of state and federal investigators and prosecutors mandated to investigate and prosecute all types of procurement collusions and other similar misconduct in government purchasing and programs.
The new strike force, which is one of the Antitrust Division’s enforcement priorities, is expected to intensify scrutiny of companies and individuals participating in government procurement. Therefore, concerned businesses should ensure that their compliance programs are robust and current.
Join antitrust attorney Andrew C. Finch (Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP) and government contracts expert Rob McDonald (Berkeley Research Group, LLC) as they present an in-depth discussion of the DOJ’s current antitrust enforcement initiatives concerning government procurement. Speakers will also offer practical tips and strategies to help companies and their counsel address critical compliance issues and challenges.
This LIVE Webcast will discuss the following:
• DOJ’s Procurement Collusion Strike Force
• Recent Enforcement Developments
• Critical Issues and Challenges
• Best Compliance Practices
• What Lies Ahead
