The change in policy that newly appointed Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General Claire McCusker Murray presaged in her keynote speech at Compliance Week’s annual conference acknowledges the importance of an effective compliance program, especially when it comes to antitrust investigations.
Specifically, she said the Justice Department is preparing changes in the Antitrust Division’s Corporate Leniency Program to take into account how much companies invest in their compliance function. This new development has the potential to change the face of antitrust compliance regimes and even Justice Department enforcement of antitrust violations.
