Antitrust and Unfair Competition
Anderson Kill has litigated many aspects of antitrust and unfair competition in both trial and appellate court and before the Federal Trade Commission. Our lawyers have successfully assisted clients in resolving a wide variety of antitrust issues related to price and non-price restraints, mergers and acquisitions, distribution of products or services, and disputes with competitors, customers and suppliers. They have represented clients in connection with claims under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, price discrimination claims under the Robinson-Patman Act, unfair competition, and false and misleading advertising and promotion claims under the Lanham Act, as well as in antitrust grand jury investigations and criminal antitrust prosecutions.
