Antitrust

The firm's Antitrust Practice Group is recognized nationally and regularly counsels regional, national and international businesses in all facets of federal and state antitrust laws. This advice involves more than rendering an opinion as to whether a particular transaction or business strategy violates the applicable antitrust statutes; we help structure activities so that the client can achieve fundamental business goals while minimizing litigation exposure. Our attorneys also represent clients in governmental investigations and private suits. We have litigated to jury verdict or summary dismissal antitrust cases involving:

• Monopolization
• Mergers
• Resale price maintenance
• Criminal price fixing
• Price discrimination
• Preferential promotional payments
• Exclusive dealing
• Tying
• Illegal brokerages

We are well versed with the Hart-Scott-Rodino pre-merger notification process and have obtained U.S. Department of Justice clearance for a number of enjoined transactions, including two of the largest single market newspaper mergers in recent years.
