Antitrust

  •  

Overview

DWT's nationwide Antitrust and Competition practice seamlessly integrates with our industry-based focus to enable us to provide top-tier representation in the full range of antitrust issues—including compliance and counseling, strategic transactions advice, state and federal litigation and appeals, and representation before state and federal enforcement agencies. Our team includes former federal antitrust enforcers and experienced litigators and counselors, giving us the knowledge, skillset, and experience to credibly, effectively, and efficiently provide clients with the highest level of representation in high-stakes matters. As recognized thought leaders, our insights are often cited in the media, and we are routinely called upon to publish articles and appear on panels addressing cutting-edge issues. In an era of heightened antitrust enforcement and increased litigation in the U.S. and globally, clients count on us for their most important matters.
Antitrust Litigation

When the stakes are high and reputations are on the line, clients turn to DWT to vigorously represent them in hard-fought antitrust litigation. Our experience runs the gamut, including price fixing, monopolization, no-poach agreements, group boycotts, refusals to deal, aftermarket parts, market allocation, tying/bundling, exclusive dealing, and unfair and deceptive trade practices. We focus on the factual and expert issues early in the case to position our clients for success. Our national practice enables us to represent clients in federal and state courts throughout the country in all types of litigation, from multidistrict consumer class actions to single plaintiff/single defendant actions. Our antitrust litigators also represent clients as targets or third parties that are involved in government investigations and are adept at responding and negotiating with the state and federal antitrust enforcement agencies.

Strategic Transactions and Merger Clearance
Our antitrust team provides practical advice drawn from our insider's understanding of how the government investigates and litigates merger cases. We regularly counsel clients from deal inception through merger clearance or enforcement litigation. Our Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) attorneys navigate the pre-merger obligations under federal law as well as the growing number of states that have mini-HSR filing requirements. Taking a highly proactive approach to merger analysis by identifying and addressing potential antitrust issues, we fully prepare clients for what has become an increasingly in-depth and contentious merger review process before the Federal Trade Commission, Department of Justice, and state attorneys general. Our proven track record of obtaining federal and/or state antitrust clearance for our clients' transactions is bolstered by our credible ability to litigate against the government, if necessary.
Counseling and Compliance
We are trusted advisors to clients spanning a wide array of industries who rely on us to provide counseling and compliance. By working closely with our clients to fully understand their strategic business plans and goals, we devise creative solutions to accomplish their objectives within the bounds of the law. Analyzing matters through the lens of experienced litigators and former government enforcement attorneys allows us to provide sound legal advice consistent with current enforcement policies.
