Antitrust & Competition

Antitrust and competition enforcement in the United States has become increasingly rigorous, with heightened scrutiny from the Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and state regulators. Companies operating in complex distribution networks, supply chains, and cross-border markets must proactively manage competition risk. We integrate competition analysis into transactional structuring and operational planning to mitigate regulatory exposure while preserving commercial flexibility. When disputes or investigations arise, we coordinate regulatory response and defense strategy with a strong focus on minimizing economic damages, protecting enterprise value, and safeguarding reputational integrity.

We advise and defend multinational and domestic companies in matters involving:

• DOJ, FTC and state Attorney General investigations
• Civil investigative demands and enforcement proceedings
• Merger review and Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) compliance
• Distribution and pricing strategy
• Allegations of price-fixing and market allocation
• Unfair competition and trade practice claims
• Antitrust aspects of joint ventures and strategic collaborations
