Antitrust and competition lawyers help businesses navigate the complex legal framework designed to promote fair competition and prevent anticompetitive conduct in the marketplace. These attorneys counsel clients on compliance with federal and state antitrust laws, including the Sherman Act, Clayton Act, and Federal Trade Commission Act, as well as international competition regulations. They advise on a wide range of business activities that implicate competition concerns, including pricing strategies, distribution agreements, joint ventures, trade association participation, competitor collaborations, and market conduct. Antitrust lawyers also guide companies through merger and acquisition transactions, preparing Hart-Scott-Rodino filings, coordinating with antitrust authorities, and addressing competitive concerns that may arise during regulatory review processes.
These legal professionals provide essential guidance on avoiding conduct that could trigger antitrust enforcement, such as price fixing, market allocation, bid rigging, monopolization, and other practices that restrain trade. They conduct antitrust risk assessments, develop compliance programs and training materials, and advise on business strategies that achieve commercial objectives while remaining within legal boundaries. When government investigations or enforcement actions arise, whether from the Department of Justice, Federal Trade Commission, state attorneys general, or international competition authorities, antitrust lawyers manage responses, coordinate with regulators, and develop defense strategies. They also handle private antitrust litigation, representing clients in cases involving allegations of anticompetitive conduct and pursuing or defending claims for damages resulting from antitrust violations.
