U.S. Antitrust
Brattle experts, many of whom have worked for either the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), are experienced in all areas of antitrust merger review. We are often asked to assess the antitrust risks associated with a transaction prior to its review by an antitrust agency. When cases are filed, we assist the merging firms through the review process by using economic theory along with empirical data and relevant industry information to define markets, analyze competitive effects and entry, and assess efficiencies. For those cases where an antitrust agency is likely to seek relief, we evaluate remedies that would address the agency’s concerns. For cases that are challenged, we provide litigation support and expert testimony.Most popular related searches
In monopolization and price-fixing cases, Brattle economists have the experience necessary to quickly identify the key economic issues and develop the economic theories and empirical analyses required for the case. This enables us to help collect evidence in the pre-discovery stage and provide rapid response during discovery, and assemble that evidence so that it can be used in a persuasive presentation before the court. A central focus of our work is supporting leading antitrust testifiers, who include two Nobel laureates and academics from universities around the world, including Stanford, Harvard, MIT, Columbia, Cambridge, Oxford, and the London School of Economics.
