Antitrust & Competition Law

Antitrust issues require attorneys with an extensive knowledge of business, economic analysis and law. Our attorneys have demonstrated their experience by litigating price-fixing, dealer-termination, price discrimination, refusal to deal, and other antitrust cases. Let us assist you as a courtroom advocate, a negotiator working with antitrust enforcement agencies, or as counsel on the antitrust implications of your business plan.

Mergers and Acquisitions When your business strategy calls for a merger, acquisition or joint venture, we work with you to develop a plan that addresses regulatory concerns and highlights the competitive aspects of a deal. We have the experience and resources to guide you through the government notification and review process under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, and can represent you in multiple foreign jurisdictions around the world.   

Government Investigations and Litigation Antitrust actions are often manipulated by competitors or customers seeking an advantage in the courtroom that they can’t achieve in the marketplace. Lord, Bissell & Brook commonly handles difficult, complex and high-stakes antitrust disputes and government investigations. As national antitrust counsel for many companies, we regularly appear before the Department of Justice, Federal Trade Commission and state antitrust enforcement agencies, as well as in federal and state courts.

Antitrust Counseling Businesses often find antitrust questions emerging as they make decisions on how to deal with customers, suppliers and competitors. We help you design and execute antitrust compliance programs, and help with the antitrust implications of price restraints, territorial and customer restrictions, licenses, supply agreements, dealer terminations and other competitive strategies.
