Corporate Crime

A cartel is an agreement between businesses not to compete with each other. Agreements can be in relation to many things but often include price, output levels, credit terms, customer base, regional supply areas to name a few. These agreements are prohibited by the Competition Act 1998 and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

1. The focus on corporate criminal conduct has never been greater. Corporates and individuals facing potential or actual criminal investigation leading to prosecution require expert advice and assistance, often at a very early stage to avoid matters progressing beyond the investigation stage.
