About

Provided by Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP

Cravath’s highly regarded antitrust practice is led by a former Commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and a former Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Antitrust Division, who are joined by a team of the country’s top antitrust practitioners. We leverage this deep experience and insight in formulating global antitrust strategy, securing regulatory clearance for mergers and acquisitions, and bringing or defending against charges of anticompetitive behavior. Clients turn to Cravath for their most significant—and often unprecedented—antitrust concerns, and we have played a central role in industry- and law‑shaping competition matters for decades.
