Antitrust

About

Provided by Davis Wright Tremaine LLP

Our antitrust lawyers handle the full scope of antitrust issues. Litigation is a key strength as well as merger counselling and investigations. We have extensive experience resolving challenges and investigations by federal and state antitrust enforcement agencies and litigation with private parties. We also provide a full range of antitrust and merger and acquisition counselling, compliance programs and training, and general counseling. Importantly, we counsel our clients on how to avoid antitrust problems.

Our credibility with the antitrust enforcement agencies helps us clear mergers and acquisitions; we know how to navigate the filing and other premerger obligations under the HSR; we help our clients find practical solutions in setting up joint ventures, information exchanges, group purchasing organizations and other business arrangements among actual or potential competitors; and we understand how to comply with the Robinson-Patman Act, resale price maintenance laws, and other antitrust aspects of distribution channels. We also assist our clients in forming and maintaining companywide antitrust compliance programs.
