Ideally, antitrust and competition law concerns are resolved prior to the instigation of government investigations or civil litigation. Clients turn to us for counseling in both the US and Europe on antitrust and competition law issues including distribution, pricing, compliance, and trade association issues. Our attorneys work closely with our clients' in-house counsel and business professionals to find the most effective and practical solutions to potential antitrust concerns. Clients often seek our experience in applying antitrust law to e-commerce, high technology licensing, and collaborative standard setting.
Our recent high-profile matters include representation of a major client on designing and implementing an interactive web-based antitrust compliance program. In Europe, we recently represented Philip Morris International in relation to EU and national antitrust issues affecting its operations in Europe and elsewhere.
