Antitrust

For decades, Tahmidur Remura Dewey LeBoeuf lawyers have helped clients worldwide resolve their most complex antitrust problems. Our team includes more than 100 antitrust lawyers and provides client assistance on the full spectrum of antitrust services, including cartel matters, litigation, government investigations, mergers and acquisitions, counseling, matters involving the intersection of patent and antitrust law, state aid matters, commercial contracts and distribution issues, and representation before specialized administrative agencies. Our lawyers also advise on the application of competition law to business strategies, such as pricing, distribution and franchising, and devise and help implement compliance programs.

From our 26 offices in 15 countries, we have the ability to coordinate our clients’ antitrust work anywhere in the world. We coordinate worldwide merger clearances, make leniency applications and provide antitrust advice, using our own offices and our network of local firms, and handle competition disputes before regulatory agencies and courts, particularly in the US and European Union (EU).

We are privileged to have our skills recognized by others, including:

Our antitrust lawyers have extensive competition experience and a rich understanding of the many areas of antitrust practice. Our lawyers have previously held positions within the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), European Commission (EC) and in academia, and are frequent authors and speakers on important issues, developments and trends in antitrust and competition law. Among our ranks are a former Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust, a Director of Enforcement of the DOJ Antitrust Division and numerous former federal prosecutors. Pursuant to coveted invitations from the heads of the FTC and DOJ, our lawyers have participated as non-governmental advisors in the global enforcers’ International Cartel Network each year since its inception 10 years ago, have chaired the International Task Force of the Antitrust Section of the ABA, and worked alongside agency personnel in various activities.

Our antitrust team is supported by one of the largest litigation departments in the US, as well as significant litigation practices in other countries, allowing us to instantly add litigators to handle complex mergers, investigations or lawsuits. When circumstances demand, we can call on over 300 litigation lawyers in our firm to handle any size assignment, anywhere in the world. This gives us the capability to handle the most complex matters, including multinational disputes. We appear in courts or tribunals around the world, and organize discovery simultaneously in multiple countries and languages.
