In this week's episode, Law.com Justice Department and regulatory affairs reporter Andrew Goudsward spoke to Tiffany Rider, an antitrust partner for Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider, about changes in DOJ antitrust enforcement under the Biden administration, including the department's signaling that it might bring criminal charges for monopolization.

Rider shared her analysis of the 11 cases the Justice Department prosecuted criminally in the past and what a modern case might look like. The partner said she would expect more guidance from the DOJ if the department planned to pursue criminal monopoly cases. In the meantime, Rider said the DOJ could use the signaling as a leverage point behind closed doors to discourage anticompetitive behavior.
