Summary

Working with Government Agencies in Antitrust Law is an authoritative, insider's perspective on interacting with government agencies during antitrust investigations. Featuring partners and chairs from some of the nation's leading law firms, these experts guide the reader through the stages of an agency investigation and the key practical considerations for each stage. These top lawyers reveal their advice on the initial analysis of the investigation and preliminary research, the role of the client in managing communications, strategic cooperation with agency officials, and negotiation techniques. Additionally, these leaders discuss how to mitigate risk through compliance, manage antitrust considerations in international jurisdictions, and analyze current enforcement trends both domestically and abroad. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to success within this complex field.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
