The course will compare the approaches of various regimes (including, for example, the U.S., European Union, China, Korea, Japan, and Brazil) to specific antitrust/competition law issues, with a specific focus on the practical realities of global antitrust/competition law enforcement. The course will cover issues involving client advice, criminal investigations, civil litigation, and dealings with competition authorities. Specific topics will include cartels, dominance (abuse of monopoly power), mergers, the intersection between intellectual property and antitrust, extraterritoriality and comity, privilege and privacy, vertical restraints, and private damages actions. Reading assignments will include academic writing and case study materials. We plan to include role playing opportunities and written assessments based on “real world” skills (e.g., client memoranda and white papers).
Joel Sanders is a retired partner and Rachel Brass is a partner in the Antitrust & Competition practice at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP.
