Antitrust and competition law sets the rules for how aggressively you can compete, and the penalties for crossing the line are steep. We represent companies in antitrust litigation, government investigations, and merger clearance, and we build compliance programs that let your team push for market share without stumbling into price-fixing, monopolization, or other exposure.
Private Antitrust Litigation
We prosecute and defend private antitrust claims, including price-fixing, market allocation, monopolization, and unlawful tying arrangements. These cases turn on market definition, economic effects, and dense factual records, so we work closely with economists and pin the analysis to your industry rather than to abstractions, whether you are seeking treble damages or fighting to dismiss them.
DOJ And FTC Investigations
A civil investigative demand or grand jury subpoena puts your company under a microscope. We represent businesses in Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission investigations, managing document production, scoping search terms, preparing witnesses for interviews, and negotiating with staff to narrow the inquiry and steer it toward a resolution you can accept.
Merger Clearance Review
Deals that draw regulatory scrutiny can stall or collapse without careful antitrust planning. We advise on the competition side of mergers and acquisitions, from Hart-Scott-Rodino filings to second request responses, assessing overlap and substantiation early so you understand the clearance risk before you sign and can plan the timeline and divestiture options accordingly.
Antitrust Compliance Programs
The cheapest antitrust problem is the one you avoid. We build practical compliance programs tailored to how your people actually operate, including training for sales and pricing teams, clear rules for trade association meetings and competitor contact, and escalation paths so risky conduct gets flagged before it becomes an investigation or a lawsuit.
