Businesses are confronted daily with existing and new competition. And just as competition grows, so do new and developing laws governing competition and competitive practices.
Our goal is to keep our clients out ahead of future business issues and potential disputes.
You need intuitive, clear counseling to compete effectively and lawfully. We deliver informed advice on competition issues based on decades of experience. As business partners, we focus on how best to achieve our clients’ goals with an eye toward streamlining the counseling process and, when necessary, limiting potential litigation risk.
We counsel domestic and foreign companies and individuals on virtually every kind of antitrust issue arising under state, federal and international antitrust laws, unfair competition statutes and common law tortious interference claims.
We represent clients in all phases of litigation in federal and state courts, in criminal antitrust investigations by federal and state agencies and in grand jury and other criminal proceedings. We also have extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions, including HSR filings and investigations by the Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice.
We have broad experience in conducting internal antitrust investigations and regularly provide antitrust audits and compliance programs.
