Speed and decisive action in making a leniency application are of the essence if significant corporate penalties, individual prosecutions and damages claims are to be avoided or mitigated. 

Our team advises on the highly sensitive issues surrounding any suggestion of involvement in a cartel.  In the crucial and hectic first few hours of a cartel coming to light, we provide commercial advice on the decision whether to claim leniency.  We advise on the correct handling of internal investigations, so that relevant information and evidence can be collected and preserved  without alerting cartel members.  Where required, we provide a robust and focused defence.  Where leniency is applied for, we ensure that the process is handled sensitively and in a way that ensures the best outcome for our client.
