Our Practice. Our Antitrust Practice Group provides sophisticated, efficient, business-oriented and client-focused advice and advocacy related to compliance with and enforcement of the antitrust laws. Our attorneys represent clients across a full spectrum of antitrust matters ranging from providing counsel in the context of transactions to defending them in government investigations and litigation proceedings. We understand and help clients navigate the antitrust risks associated with mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures and guide those transactions through review by federal antitrust agencies. Clients depend on us to analyze the antitrust risks of proposed transactions and find solutions for avoiding or minimizing those risks. In addition, we guide clients on complying with the antitrust laws in day-to-day business activities, such as pricing, sales and distribution practices as well as designing and implementing effective antitrust compliance programs. Our team brings years of litigation experience representing clients in federal and state antitrust matters, class actions, multidistrict litigation, jury and bench trials, and third party witness testimony. Our attorneys are recognized leaders in the field, including our antitrust practice chair, who was recently named to the Lawdragon 500 Leading Global Antitrust & Competition Lawyers (2026), and the firm received Benchmark Litigation’s 2026 Tennessee Firm of the Year award.
