Recognized for depth of experience, knowledge, efficiency and creativity, Pillsbury is a nationally ranked leader in significant antitrust litigation and cartel investigations, and as strategic merger counsel.
Pillsbury’s Antitrust & Competition Team is distinguished by its experience handling complex antitrust litigation and by its track record securing favorable resolutions through successful litigation, negotiated settlements and jury trials. Our strengths include the effective and efficient management of multi-district class action litigation and parallel criminal antitrust investigations. We have deep experience defending clients in litigation in federal and state courts across the country involving claims such as price fixing, monopolization, boycotts, tying, unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets, trade libel, deceptive trade practices and other business torts. We have significant experience handling enforcement agency actions before the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and states’ Attorneys General.
We understand how antitrust agencies approach merger analysis, emphasizing the application of complex economic analyses and prior agency experience, not just conventional case law. Familiarity with agency thinking and with companies' business needs enables our team to obtain prompt merger clearance without extended and costly investigation.
Our experience extends into consumer unfair competition and false advertising practice, counseling clients through formal and informal investigations by the FTC, state attorneys general and district attorneys, and defending scores of consumer class actions brought by private plaintiffs.
