Antitrust

Baker Donelson's Antitrust and Competition Law Group represents clients in complex antitrust litigation, criminal investigations, merger reviews, and regulatory counseling. Our team includes former prosecutors and regulators from the U.S. Department of Justice's Antitrust, Tax, and Fraud Divisions, the U.S. Attorneys' Offices, the Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Competition, the FBI, and the Department of Energy. We serve clients in industries ranging from health care and pharmaceuticals to manufacturing, defense, transportation, energy, and technology.

We regularly handle high-stakes civil antitrust matters, including multidistrict litigation, class actions, and parallel criminal proceedings. Our attorneys have significant experience before federal and state courts, administrative tribunals, and competition authorities. We are known for rapid response in urgent matters, including temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions.

In the criminal arena, we represent companies and executives in federal and state investigations, grand jury proceedings, trials, and appeals, and are adept at managing whistleblower claims and complex plea negotiations.

We also advise on antitrust compliance and risk mitigation in mergers, joint ventures, pricing strategies, and competitor collaborations. Our team guides clients through Hart-Scott-Rodino filings and Second Requests before the DOJ and FTC, always with an eye toward achieving our clients' strategic objectives.
