Whenever the government applies its weight in an antitrust matter, the stakes increase dramatically. Our attorneys have held senior positions in both federal antitrust agencies and have the judgment to apply a range of skills to steer the investigation to a successful resolution.

Where our clients are the target of an investigation, these skills include the vigorous advocacy we have used to head off government investigations, or confront them in court, as well as a more delicate mix of advocacy and negotiation to steer the investigation in a desired direction. And where the government investigation overlaps with private litigation, we are experienced at managing them both to serve the ultimate client goal.

Where our clients are not the target, we have successfully persuaded government investigators to undertake investigations that are in the interest of our clients, and regularly handle investigations where the goal is to minimize the time and expense devoted to serving as a third-party witness, up against the government’s subpoena power.

In any type of investigation, the key is understanding the client goal, and applying the right skills to achieve that goal. Having been on both sides of numerous investigations, representing both private clients and the government, our team is well-positioned to do just that.
