Antitrust and Trade Regulation

We regularly provide antitrust and trade regulation counsel to our business clients. This includes help in designing and implementing distribution programs that comply with the Robinson-Patman Act, Hart-Scott-Rodino compliance in connection with mergers, acquisitions, sales and divestitures, and general antitrust counsel concerning price fixing, customer and territorial allocations and vertical restraints.  We also advise clients on the unique aspects of Connecticut law pertaining to franchise relationships and their implications for supplier-distributor relationships and other aspects of trade regulation law.  Our White Collar and Investigatory Law attorneys have extensive experience in addressing federal and state antitrust investigations, and our Litigation attorneys are well versed in private litigation involving antitrust, the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act, and other areas of trade regulation.
