The Settlements Guide - 1st Edition

Whether, where, why, when and how to settle global antitrust matters is fundamental to the successful counselling of a client facing competition enforcement issues, and yet surprisingly little practical guidance exists to help lawyers understand the process and how to best protect the company’s interests in navigating it. The Settlements Guide brings together expert practitioners from 17 leading institutions around the world to fill that gap and debate the key issues in negotiating a successful settlement in antitrust matters.
