Antitrust

Antitrust law governs how businesses compete, and navigating the complex web of federal and state competition regulations requires attorneys with deep expertise and a thorough understanding of both law and economics. OTT Law advises businesses on antitrust compliance, defends clients in government investigations, represents parties in private antitrust litigation, and counsels companies through the merger review process. Our antitrust attorneys serve clients across a range of industries in Missouri, Illinois, and nationally, providing practical guidance that allows businesses to pursue their competitive strategies with confidence.

Our antitrust practice encompasses counseling on pricing practices, distribution agreements, joint ventures, and horizontal and vertical restraints of trade; representation in Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission investigations and civil proceedings; merger and acquisition antitrust analysis and HSR filing support; private antitrust litigation, including class action defense; and state antitrust enforcement matters. We work closely with our corporate and securities attorneys to provide fully integrated counsel when antitrust issues arise in the context of transactions, corporate governance, or securities offerings.

Proactive antitrust compliance is the most effective way to avoid costly investigations and litigation. OTT Law helps clients develop and implement antitrust compliance programs, conduct internal audits, and train employees on competition law requirements. When investigations or litigation cannot be avoided, our attorneys provide vigorous representation to minimize exposure and protect our clients' ability to compete effectively.
