About Mary N. Strimel
Mary N. Strimel advises and represents companies and individuals in criminal cartel, white collar, and related matters including antitrust class actions. Before joining McDermott she was a prosecutor and founding chief of a criminal enforcement section with the Antitrust Division of the US Department of Justice. In that role she hired, trained, and supervised a team of prosecutors in the investigation and prosecution of antitrust, fraud, and other white-collar crimes.
Ms. Strimel also has broad civil experience that allows her to advise companies facing follow-on class actions in cartel or other civil matters. She spent 7 years in the DOJ’s civil antitrust program, investigating (among other matters) mergers and allegedly unlawful agreements. Before that, she was a partner at a law firm that specialized in complex multi-state and nationwide price-fixing class actions.

Event Synopsis:
Cartel enforcement and investigations continue to grow in intensity globally. Recent developments show that countries are serious in their campaign for fair competition and trade regulation. U.S. cartel investigations continue into global industries such as electronics, financial products, pharmaceuticals, and transportation. The European Union has also imposed large fines last year with more than $1billion in case fines. Industries in the U.S. continue to face class actions alleging cartel behavior even where government enforcers have not acted.
With the stricter implementation and anticipation this year, companies around the globe should revisit and review their compliance programs to better prevent and mitigate regulatory risks. The Knowledge Group has assembled a panel of key thought leaders to provide the audience with an in-depth analysis of cartel investigations and criminal litigation in 2017. In this live webcast, speakers will help companies understand the important aspects of this significant topic and will offer insights on how to effectively comply with existing laws, thus preventing risks of violations.
Key issues that will be covered in this course are:
EU and US Competition Policies – Comparison
Cartel Investigations and Criminal Litigations in 2017
Notable Developments in Cartel Investigations Around the Globe
Recent Developments and Enforcement Actions
2018 Outlook
