Kressin Powers is an elite antitrust boutique. Antitrust and competition law is undergoing a transformation, both in the United States and abroad. This new antitrust landscape holds both risk and opportunity for businesses. Navigating this new landscape requires a new approach, and Kressin Powers is uniquely well equipped to guide you. Our mission is to develop innovative, aggressive, and effective antitrust strategies for our clients that we execute at the highest level. This approach is grounded in the understanding that antitrust laws can be used to protect and restore competition. Our core belief is that the right antitrust strategy, executed to perfection, can be the competitive edge that makes it possible for our clients to achieve their goals.

We offer a full suite of antitrust services and capabilities. We excel at helping our clients think about antitrust not only defensively, but from a posture of maintaining and enhancing their ability to compete effectively.

Our services and capabilities include:

• Litigation. We represent clients in antitrust litigation, primarily in offensive and non-party roles across a broad spectrum of industries. We handle complex cases involving monopolistic practices, cartel behavior, group boycotts, price fixing, and other antitrust violations. Our approach combines thorough legal analysis, meticulous preparation, and aggressive courtroom strategies to achieve just outcomes.
• Regulatory advocacy. We provide expert regulatory advocacy services, helping clients navigate the challenges posed by antitrust investigations and enforcement actions by federal, state, and international regulatory bodies. Our team engages with enforcers to advocate on behalf of our clients, presenting compelling arguments and evidence to influence regulatory outcomes and policy decisions.
• Competition Policy Counseling. We help businesses and trade associations navigate the increasingly complex world of antitrust and competition policy, in close coordination with their government affairs teams, legislative advocates, and third-party consultants. We are well-versed in coalition building and management to help achieve policy goals that complement legal strategies and achieve desired business objectives.
• Cartel Defense. We defend companies and executives facing criminal investigations and charges. Led by the Antitrust Division’s former Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Criminal Enforcement, we excel at negotiating favorable settlements, avoiding criminal charges when possible, and delivering compelling trial defenses when necessary. Our comprehensive approach protects clients' interests while minimizing business disruption throughout these high-stakes proceedings.
• Merger Counseling. We offer comprehensive merger counseling services, advising clients on the antitrust implications of potential transactions, including third-party transactions that may harm competition. From initial due diligence to engaging with enforcers, our team provides strategic guidance to identify risks and solutions and to present the strongest case on behalf of our clients. We work diligently to protect our clients' ability to operate in competitive markets.
• General Antitrust Strategy. Our antitrust compliance programs are tailored to help clients prevent, detect, and respond to potential antitrust issues before they become problematic. We conduct audits, provide training sessions, and develop policies that ensure compliance with complex antitrust laws and regulations. Our proactive approach helps clients maintain lawful and ethical business practices, minimizing risk and fostering a culture of compliance within their organizations.
• Whistleblower & Qui Tam Actions. We represent whistleblowers and other complainants in qui tam actions, seeking antitrust relief on behalf of the government. Our experienced team supports individuals and entities in reporting and prosecuting claims involving antitrust violations that harm public interest. By leveraging the FCA and other statutes, we empower our clients to hold violators accountable, often resulting in significant recoveries for the government while ensuring our clients are rewarded and protected throughout the process.
