Antitrust & Trade Regulation

Under federal or state laws, antitrust problems can arise not only from business combinations or mergers, but also from rules imposed by manufacturers or franchisors on other entities in the distribution chain, marketplace interactions between competing firms, licensing of intellectual property, or differential pricing policies. Government agencies, regulators, consumers, and competitors routinely invoke false advertising and unfair competition statutes against businesses. Additionally, contracts, remedies, and warranties often generate business disputes and lawsuits.
