January 14, 2022 by Robert Connolly

The FTC is hiring a number of attorneys to beef up its enforcement effort in the Bureau of Competition.  The FTC calls the hiring “Continuous.”  Complete information about these openings can be found here.

The FTC’s Bureau of Competition (BC) enforces the nation’s antitrust laws, which form the foundation of our free market economy. BC is currently seeking attorneys to support enforcement work in its Litigation Divisions. Learn more about BC here.

Here are some bullet points from the FTC announcement:

  • Location: Washington, DC
  • Telework eligible    Yes—as determined by the agency policy.
  • Salary   $89,834 – $138,868 per year
  • Pay scale & grade    GS 12 – 13
  •  Appointment type   Term – 14 months – NTE 4 years.  This is a TERM appointment in the Excepted Service and will be filled on a full-time basis.

I had a career in government service with the Antitrust Division, Department of Justice and never regretted a moment of my time so I’m happy to be able to pass on this information for your consideration.

The US Supreme Court has called cartels "the supreme evil of antitrust." Price fixing and bid rigging may not be all that evil as far as supreme evils go, but an individual can get 10 years in jail and corporations can be fined hundreds of millions of dollars. This blog will provide news, insight and analysis of the world of cartels based on the many years my colleagues and I have as former feds with the Antitrust Division, USDOJ.
