Provided by Robinson, Bradshaw & Hinson, P.A.
Robinson Bradshaw maintains one of the leading antitrust and competition practices in the Southeast, representing clients in every area of antitrust law.
Our antitrust litigation practice represents corporate and institutional clients in complex litigation, including class actions and MDLs, involving price-fixing and monopolization claims. We defend clients in a range of industries in courts across the country, working from the outset of litigation to identify key legal and economic arguments needed to prevail before trial, or at trial. Our team also has significant experience handling civil and criminal investigations conducted by the DOJ, FTC and state antitrust enforcement agencies.
Our team represents corporate clients in sophisticated mergers, acquisitions and other transactions to identify and remedy potential antitrust issues. We work seamlessly with our clients to file Hart-Scott-Rodino notifications and then guide transactions through federal review. Our recent work has included securing antitrust clearance for multiple multibillion-dollar transactions.
In addition to solving antitrust issues once they arise, our lawyers are actively involved in minimizing antitrust risks by counseling clients regarding marketing and distribution agreements, pricing policies and other trade practices, and conducting antitrust compliance training for our clients. We also counsel clients on issues that arise at the intersection of antitrust and intellectual property laws.
