Safeguard Your Business From Antitrust and Trade Regulation Threats From The Government and Competitors with Winder & Counsel

As the economy in the United States and across the globe strengthens, businesses of all sizes and forms are facing intense scrutiny from their competitors, as well as from government agencies to “play fair” via antitrust and trade regulations. On both federal and state levels, businesses are being carefully monitored to ensure their practices are operating in a way that promotes fair competition.

The umbrella under which antitrust and trade regulations is sheltered is that of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). These agencies investigate and enforce matters falling under the Sherman Act and Clayton Act, which prohibit monopolies and restrict certain business practices that threaten fair competition.

While these rules seem like they would only affect multinational megacorporations, businesses often find themselves under the watchful eyes of the DOJ and FTC as they pursue mergers, acquisitions, and franchise options. As businesses thrive and grow, competitors often grow concerned, and push for investigations and complaints into unfair competition practices.

Whether your business is under pressure from competitors or federal agencies or you are a business whose competitors are unfairly manipulating the playing field, Winder & Counsel’s antitrust and trade regulation lawyers can help you protect your company.
