Competition/Antitrust

About

Provided by Dechert LLP

Leading companies depend on Dechert’s antitrust/competition lawyers’ creative solutions to the most difficult antitrust issues in merger clearance, litigation and business planning. 

We prioritize understanding our clients’ businesses inside and out. This enables us to integrate legal, economic and factual arguments into a persuasive presentation before an antitrust agency, in court or at the negotiating table.

Our statistical analysis of changes in the mergers and acquisitions world has been featured in The Wall Street Journal and other leading publications. DAMITT, Dechert Antitrust Merger Investigation Timing Tracker, measures the time from transaction announcement until resolution of the investigation for Hart-Scott-Rodino Act reportable transactions resulting in a closing statement, consent order, complaint challenging the transaction, or abandonment for which the agency takes credit.

We provide sound and experienced advice in responding to the antitrust grand jury process, including in the leniency process, avoiding indictment and defending criminal trials where necessary.

For global companies, antitrust matters can be complex, multijurisdictional affairs. With antitrust lawyers in Brussels, Frankfurt, New York, Paris, Philadelphia and Washington D.C., Dechert is well positioned to serve wherever antitrust issues arise.
