With offices in New York, London and Monrovia, we represent U.S. and global businesses in antitrust litigation. We provide strategic support, personalized service and honest guidance.

The Basics Of Antitrust Law

Antitrust laws aim to promote fair competition and prevent anti-competitive practices. In the U.S., common antitrust laws include the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Clayton Antitrust Act. These laws often allow private parties to sue for suspected violations that they allege caused them harm.

Common Types Of Antitrust Allegations

Antitrust lawsuits can involve many types of accusations that a business conspired to violate antitrust laws, formed contracts that do not comply with such laws or engaged in other anti-competitive behavior. Common ones include:

  • Price fixing
  • Market division or allocation
  • Monopolistic practices
  • Exclusive dealing arrangements
  • Illegal tying arrangements
  • Bid rigging
  • That a merger or acquisition suppresses competition

Our firm handles all types of antitrust cases. We are particularly skilled in representing parties in litigation involving a sale of business assets that limits a seller’s ability to compete against the buyer.

The Financial Impacts Of Antitrust Litigation

The outcome of antitrust cases can have significant economic implications for your business, regardless of which side you’re on. Our team has a proven track record of protecting clients’ financial interests in antitrust disputes. We have recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars for plaintiffs and saved defendants similar amounts.

The Unique Challenges Of Cross-Border Matters

Antitrust laws and competition norms vary from country to country. This can create challenges for businesses operating internationally. When facing or pursuing an antitrust claim outside of your home country, it is crucial to have a team with a thorough understanding of international law. Our lawyers have considerable experience with cross-border cases and know how to address their unique aspects.
