Antitrust Compliance Toolkit

| Maintained • USA (National/Federal) |
A collection of resources to help design and implement an antitrust compliance program.
Because an antitrust investigation or prosecution can have severe consequences, companies must ensure that they have in place an effective antitrust compliance program. An effective antitrust compliance program helps companies by:
- Educating employees about conduct that violates antitrust laws and the related potential penalties.
- Providing employees and executives with efficient means to report suspected violations.
- Encouraging early detection of any violations that do occur, potentially allowing the company to apply for amnesty from criminal prosecution.
- Mitigating potential criminal liability and penalties, if the company does not qualify for amnesty.
- Potentially allowing the company to avoid charges by entering into a deferred prosecution agreement.
The Antitrust Compliance Toolkit collects continuously maintained resources to guide counsel and compliance professionals in creating, implementing, monitoring, and auditing an organization's antitrust compliance program.
