Summary:
"The Leniency Program is one of the Antitrust Division's most important tools for combating criminal antitrust cartels domestically and across the globe. Now in its fourth decade, it has continued to expand in reach and impact, and attorneys and their clients have sought more guidance on the Leniency Program's contours and the steps needed to satisfy leniency requirements, which recently underwent its most significant changes in several decades. This is a critical time for leniency. This handbook equips criminal cartel defense professionals with the in-depth knowledge they need to successfully represent a client--whether corporation or individual--through the leniency application and investigation processes, or through charging, plea agreements, and sentencing if leniency is not available"--Publisher's website.
