Antitrust Lawyer Queens, NY

Antitrust laws foster fair competition, promote innovation, and protect consumers. There are three main antitrust laws in the United States.

The Sherman Act – Established in 1890, the Sherman Act was the first antitrust law established. It protects free trade and prohibits monopolization.​

The Clayton Act – Enacted in 1914, the Clayton Act expands on the Sherman Act. It addresses anticompetition practices in mergers and acquisitions. It also prohibits discriminatory pricing and other predatory commercial practices.​

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) – Put into law in 1914, the FTC protects against unfair competition and deceptive practices.​

If a company is suspected of breaking antitrust laws, a complaint is filed with the FTC or the DOJ. These government entities conduct an investigation to determine the validity of the claim. If there is cause for concern, the federal government can pursue litigation; however, most cases are negotiated in settlement. When there is clear intentional misconduct, criminal charges may be filed.​

Every industry is subject to antitrust laws. Common issues our Queens antitrust lawyer handles for clients primarily involve patent, trademark licensing, and copyright licensing disputes. Our services span a variety of issues, including:

• Compliance counselling
• Strategic mergers and acquisitions
• Investigation of antitrust violations
• Litigation

When there is a dispute involving a patent, private lawsuits may be filed. These legal actions are meant to prevent monopolization and usually involve fraudulently obtained patents or intentional delays/bad faith litigation to prevent valid patent approvals. Our attorneys will investigate all claims and formulate strategic arguments, with a goal of achieving a resolution efficiently.

Antitrust cases require more than legal knowledge. Outcomes depend on complex economic analysis, in-depth knowledge of regulatory practices, and fact-based evidentiary research.
