Antitrust

Antitrust cases are about more than law and legal judgment. They’re just as much about public opinion, which can exert decisive influence on how regulators decide what does and does not serve a free, competitive marketplace. 

Levick’s Antitrust Team operates at every tier of the antitrust arena. We have fought and won bet-the-company actions, mounting a trenchant counter-offensive against government overreaching. We control the struggle online where the use of terms like “monopoly” and “price fixing” is so crucial in setting the public discussion. Often the regulators themselves are the audience when companies must disseminate the most compelling messages, with powerful allies who can articulate why the corporate position is indeed in the best interests of consumers and clients. 

We work hand-in-glove with legal counsel to fashion campaigns that maximize your case in court – or rally enough public support to assure the case never gets that far. Without a communications plan and action, companies enter the antitrust fray half-armed at best.
