Brent Snyder, head of the firm's regulatory and compliance department, is moderating the "Cartel Enforcement Reinvigorated—Leniency, Whistleblowers & Cross Border Coordination" panel at the ABA Antitrust Law Section's Antitrust Global Seminar Series: Tokyo, joined by fellow panelists from private practice across the Asia-Pacific region.

The panel will examine the latest cartel enforcement trends across the region, including Japan's leniency program revisions and new whistleblower mechanisms, major ongoing cartel cases, and how companies manage multi-jurisdictional investigations where timelines and outcomes diverge.

The seminar will bring together senior enforcers and leading practitioners in Tokyo to address cutting-edge issues including industrial policy and green guidelines, Japan's Smartphone Act, cartel enforcement trends, and the latest developments from senior enforcers across Asia-Pacific.

Brent Snyder, head of the firm's regulatory and compliance department, brings more than 30 years of civil and criminal litigation and trial experience in both the private and public sectors. He is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading authorities on antitrust and competition enforcement in the area of antitrust cartels and related criminal violations. Brent has secured positive outcomes for leading companies and individual executives across industries in investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and other antitrust enforcers, all while ensuring minimal business disruptions. 

Prior to joining the firm, Brent served as chief executive officer of the Hong Kong Competition Commission (HKCC), where he had day-to-day responsibility for all aspects of its enforcement, policy, advocacy, and administration functions. Under his leadership, the HKCC set several important litigation precedents; significantly increased the volume, variety, and complexity of its enforcement work; improved its leniency and cooperation incentives; and enhanced its competition policy and advocacy work.
