FOREWORD

The Section of Antitrust of the American Bar Association

proudly presents the International Antitrust Cartel Handbook, First

Edition. Cartel issues arise in a variety of settings and industries and

increasingly without regard to jurisdictional boundaries. Markets are

more interconnected today than ever before. As a result, enforcement

agencies around the world have begun to more rigorously enforce

anti-cartel laws and to coordinate their respective enforcement efforts.

Navigating competition law across jurisdictions can be challenging for

both competition law practitioners and in-house counsel.

The International Antitrust Cartel Handbook was prepared by

individuals experienced in both prosecuting and defending cartel

matters around the world to be your guide. The Handbook reflects

years of dedicated effort by Section members who have closely

followed and in some instances guided the evolution of the applicable

law. It is our hope that it will be a lasting resource for readers who

face cartel enforcement efforts in multiple jurisdictions.

The Section is deeply grateful to the many members who generously

contributed their wisdom and time to completing this prodigious

undertaking. The project’s chairs, Adam Hemlock and John Terzaken,

along with Kayleigh Golish, deserve special mention for their tireless

efforts and determination to make this project a success.
