Holland & Knight is consistently ranked as one of the top antitrust law firms. We take pride in having tried many antitrust lawsuits in federal and state courts and before the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). We have represented clients in litigation involving nearly all aspects of the Sherman Antitrust Act, Clayton Act and FTC Act, as well as in related areas such as noncompetition covenants, trade secrets and business torts.
Our team features experienced trial lawyers, including lawyers who have worked inside the U.S. Department of Justice. We know how to defend against treble damage class actions and lawsuits filed by competitors or customers, and we have served as counsel in several industrywide antitrust class actions.
In addition to being frequent authors and speakers on a variety of antitrust issues, our attorneys have served in leadership roles in the American Bar Association’s Antitrust Law Section and other professional groups focused on antitrust litigation.
