Welcome to the Corporate Counseling Committee's webpage.
The Corporate Counseling Committee focuses on antitrust issues that are relevant to in-house legal counsel and those who advise them. We examine both issues of current concern as well as the process of counseling in order to aid companies in effectively complying with the antitrust and consumer protection laws. The Corporate Counseling Committee is one of the most active committees of the ABA's Antitrust Section, with a long tradition of sponsoring informative and timely programs, newsletters and books.
The Corporate Counseling Committee website houses key antitrust information for the in-house attorney, including our recent programs and publications, links to valuable resources, and information on enforcement trends and compliance counseling. Information about some of our most popular offerings are linked below, and links to other information (including how to join our Committee's Discussion List) are available in the right hand column. We want the webpage to be a useful and comprehensive resource for in-house counsel, so please let us know if you have any suggestions for making the page more useful.

The Corporate Counseling Committee is excited to announce that the second edition of our very popular FAAQ book is now available to order on the Section’s website. The link is below.
Frequently Asked Antitrust Questions is a tremendous resource for practitioners who need quick, plain language answers to questions that arise every day. The book is useful both for the non-expert who needs easy access to the basic rules of the road and for lawyers with significant experience in antitrust law who need to respond quickly and efficiently to questions from clients. Frequently Asked Antitrust Questions is a user-friendly and unique go-to resource for attorneys of all experience levels.
This revision includes two new chapters addressing emerging issues in the areas of intellectual property and antitrust compliance. The prior edition’s discussion of trade associations has also been expanded and now makes up its own chapter. Other chapters also contain expanded material, including additional references and footnotes for practitioners who need to delve deeper into specific issues. Expanded topics include: communications with competitors, dealing with antitrust authorities in the United States and abroad, the Robinson-Patman Act and other pricing issues, vertical arrangements between customers and suppliers, and more.
To purchase your copy, click here: Frequently Asked Antitrust Questions. The price is $99 for section members and $129 and for non-members.
The Corporate Counseling Committee is also the source of two other publications: Antitrust Compliance: Perspectives and Resources for Corporate Counselors, 2nd Edition, and the Interlocking Directorates Handbook.
The Interlocking Directorates Handbook provides history, background, and practical guidance on the application of Section 8 of the Clayton Act, which regulates "corporate interlocks"-- where two competing corporations share one or more directors in common. The Handbook provides a concise history of Section 8, discusses common procedural issues that arise in litigation involving Section 8 claims, summarizes the interplay between Section 8 and other regulatory schemes, and finally, discusses practical guidance and common pitfalls for practitioners.
To purchase your copy, click here: Interlocking Directorates Handbook. The price is $99.99 for section members and $139.00 for non-members.
The second edition of Antitrust Compliance is a great resource for Committee members. It contains new and updated chapters to aid outside and in-house counsel charged with developing or updating their clients' antitrust compliance program. It provides detailed essays exploring specific compliance issues from the perspective of experienced practitioners and antitrust compliance manuals, presentations and other materials that can be customized for use in actual corporate employee training situations.
To purchase your copy, click here: Antitrust Compliance: Perspective and Resources for Corporate Counselors. The price is $179.00 for section members and $199.99 for non-members.
