FTC and DOJ Joint Workshop: Conditional Pricing Practices: Economic Analysis and Legal Policy Implications

---

Washington, DC

On June 23, 2014, Cleary Gottlieb partner Leah Brannon participated in the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice joint public workshop “Conditional Pricing Practices: Economic Analysis and Legal Policy Implications.” The workshop focused on conditional pricing arrangements – practices in which prices are explicitly or effectively contingent on commitments to purchase or sell a specified share or volume of a single product or a mix of multiple products – such as loyalty or bundled pricing.

A principal goal of the workshop was to advance the economic understanding of the potential harms and benefits of conditional pricing practices and to reexamine their treatment under the antitrust laws.
