Expert Insights on Antitrust Law
Antitrust Law is the system of rules intended to promote free competition in the market place by regulating monopolies and other anti-competitive behavior. Antitrust laws and regulations are designed to protect trade and commerce from unfair business practices. The merger of two companies or the acquisition of one company by another may be subject to review by a government agency in an effort to balance the interests of those companies with the public good.
