Baker Donelson's Antitrust Group is based in Washington, D.C. with antitrust attorneys located throughout the United States offices. The Group consists of more than 25 experienced attorneys with a broad range of antitrust experience in international, national, state and local issues. Just as important as our antitrust experience is making sure that we are efficient, effective and responsive for our clients, especially since we are frequently handling bet-the-company matters.
Clients from every industry rely on us to defend antitrust cases of all sizes and types, including major multi-defendant antitrust class actions, multi-district litigation, state class action cases and state attorney general parens patriae suits. We also handle federal and state government investigations, criminal antitrust matters, mergers and acquisitions before the federal agencies (including Hart-Scott-Rodino filings) and Robinson-Patman Act price discrimination and resale price maintenance issues. The Antitrust Group also provides counseling to a wide variety of Fortune 500 clients on horizontal and vertical matters, monopolization, benchmarking, acquisitions and consumer protection issues.
The Antitrust Group is regularly involved in antitrust matters and litigation across the country, not only where we have offices, but also recently in California, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Illinois and Vermont. Recently, the Firm was involved in a major multi-defendant, multi-district antitrust case involving the auto insurance industry and served as Liaison Counsel in that matter. As one of the top health care law firms in the country, we also routinely represent our health care clients on a variety of health care antitrust issues.
Many of our antitrust lawyers are listed in Best Lawyers in America in antitrust, commercial litigation and other areas, have held leadership positions in the ABA's Antitrust and Litigation Sections and in local bar associations, and have been named as Outstanding Healthcare Antitrust Lawyers by Nightingale's Healthcare News. Our attorneys also have served as Assistant U.S. Attorneys and have held supervisory positions in the Department of Justice. While Baker Donelson is involved in antitrust litigation throughout the country, we also have the advantage of experienced antitrust litigators who know the local courts.
