Tee St. Matthew-Daniel Discusses DOJ’s Antitrust Compliance Program Guidance, AI and Ephemeral Messaging on ABA’s Our Curious Amalgam Podcast
January 13, 2025
Antitrust partner Tee St. Matthew-Daniel was a featured guest on the January 13 episode of the American Bar Association’s Our Curious Amalgam podcast. In a comprehensive conversation with the hosts and fellow guest Emma Burnham, director criminal enforcement at the U.S. Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division, Tee discusses the DOJ’s November 2024 update to its guidance on how the agency will evaluate corporate compliance programs during criminal antitrust investigations. “From a practitioner’s perspective, the guidance adds real value by just putting it all in one place and highlighting some of the important features of an effective compliance program,” Tee says. “You can think of it, perhaps, as industry best practices that have the DOJ’s stamp of approval.”
Tee also talks about emerging compliance risks related to artificial intelligence and ephemeral messaging. Although these newer technologies may be unfamiliar, compliance professionals play an important role in helping mitigate potential competition risk with AI, and the DOJ has raised the possibility of prosecuting both companies and their counsel for failure to maintain copies of ephemeral messages, Tee says.
