The U.S. Supreme Court on Nov. 12 declined to review a decision that has implications for the Department of Justice’s criminal #antitrust enforcement program. In United States v. Brewbaker, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit held that a manufacturer and distributer who allegedly coordinated their bidding strategy did not engage in a per se #pricefixing conspiracy. The federal government acknowledged that the case “makes it substantially more difficult” to prosecute criminal cases when the alleged conspirators have vertical aspects to their relationships with each other. https://lnkd.in/gdw4ePaX #SCOTUS McGuireWoods LLP authors: Brent Justus, Megan Lewis, Casey Erin Lucier, Cole Geddy, Joshua Wade
