Antitrust Violations Defense Attorney
Consult a defense lawyer about defending allegations of antitrust violations.
Antitrust violations can be charged as civil violations in civil lawsuits by the government, individuals or businesses. But if the Department of Justice determines that criminal charges are warranted, the fines can be in the millions of dollars for a business, and individuals within the business, if found guilty, can be sent to prison.
Antitrust violations involve using unfair business practices and, when more than one company is involved, conspiracy. Types of violations include:
- Collaborating with other companies in a price-fixing scheme that keeps prices at an artificially high level
- Rigging bids in a supposedly fair biding competition
- Dividing a market geographically among two or more companies so that there is no competition in each geographic market
It is important in an antitrust civil lawsuit to be aware of and prepared for the possibility of criminal indictments. Discuss the case with a white collar criminal defense lawyer. What you say will be confidential and can prevent a difficult situation (a civil case) from getting worse (a criminal case).
