David Kiefer

Andrew J. Lee | Katharine O'Connor | Justin P. Murphy | Paul M. Thompson | Claire E. Danberg
On March 2, 2022, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) Antitrust Division Deputy Assistant Attorney General Richard Powers revealed that the DOJ intends to investigate and pursue alleged criminal violations against individuals or companies who violate Section 2 of the Sherman Act.Β For more than 40 years, criminal enforcement of antitrust laws have focused nearly exclusively on hardcore, per se anticompetitive agreements (i.e., price fixing, output restriction or market allocation) among two or more horizontal competitors.Β Section 2 of the Sherman Act, on the other hand, primarily focuses on conduct by one firm or company with significant market power and, typically, is a means to bring a civil case for monopolization or anticompetitive use of the existing monopoly power.
Think Green Before You Apply: EU Competitition Law and Climate Change Abatement
Jacques Buhart | David Henry
The European Union (EU) has sounded the alarm: βclimate change and environmental degradation are an existential threat to Europe and the worldβ. To mitigate this threat, the EU recently presented the βEuropean Green Dealβ (EGD), which aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. While competition policy may not be the most obvious instrument to achieve this aim, it does in the authorsβ view have a role to play. This article seeks to offer some perspective on how the rules pertaining to Article 101(3) TFEU and the EU Merger Regulation (EUMR) could be applied differently and/or amended to effectively accommodate environmental benefits.
