Antitrust Leniency

Antitrust Leniency is a legal and economic policy mechanism within competition law enforcement whereby a governmental authority grants reduced penalties or immunity to a firm or individual that voluntarily discloses participation in anticompetitive collusion, thereby distinguishing it from standard punitive approaches by incentivizing whistleblowing to facilitate the detection and prosecution of cartels.
