antitrust economics

Antitrust issues are becoming increasingly complex. U.S. and European enforcement agencies are applying new theories and models of actual and potential anticompetitive harm in evaluating mergers and acquisitions, and in civil and criminal investigations. Private antitrust actions have kept pace. New theories of liability, impact, and harm and innovative approaches to damages are altering the landscape of traditional antitrust. Combine these developments with the rapid technological change and increased globalization that face most industries, and the challenge to design and implement an effective antitrust analysis becomes a daunting one.

In antitrust economics, we have analyzed numerous issues, including allegations of monopolization, predatory pricing, tying arrangements, and other anti-competitive activities. In these engagements, we have demonstrated our expertise in the analysis of industry conditions, market definition, pricing, behavior of individual firms, and efficiency gains and losses resulting from collective behavior. We have provided analysis in a multitude of antitrust cases in a broad range of industries, including professional sports franchises, food, transportation, higher education, retail and wholesale grocery distribution, and computer software.
