The AAG is assisted by six Deputy Assistant Attorneys General (DAAGs) who may be either career or noncareer employees. These DAAGs assist the AAG by supervising enforcement matters and advising on enforcement decisions and policy matters. The Director of Civil Enforcement, the Director of Criminal Enforcement, the Director of Litigation, and the Economics Director of Enforcement have additional supervisory authority for their respective programs and are career employees. The Assistant Attorney General may be assisted by several special counsel.

The Antitrust Division’s Office of the Chief Legal Advisor (OCLA) advises the Assistant Attorney General (AAG), the AAG’s deputies, and Division managers and staff on potential areas of legal risk or vulnerability to the Division’s operations as well as guidance concerning the Division’s jurisdiction and law enforcement authority. In this regard, OCLA performs many of the same duties as a General Counsel’s Office. Specifically, OCLA’s duties include: the interpretation and application of statutes and rules, development and implementation of remedy policies, guidance concerning decree enforcement and compliance, advice on ethics rules, coordination of responses to lawsuits against, or subpoenas issued to, the Division, counseling concerning employment issues, processing and responding to Freedom of Information (FOIA) requests, providing guidance concerning Privacy Act issues, liaising with investigating entities, and representing the Division on various working groups, boards, etc.
Although the attorneys and other members of OCLA have different subject matter responsibilities, the overriding mission of OCLA is to provide the best legal advice and guidance to Division management and staff, with the goal of minimizing risk to the Division by exercising sound judgment consistent with the high standards of the Department of Justice and ensuring compliance with all applicable court decisions, statutes, rules, and policies.
