Honigman's Antitrust and Trade Regulation practice group has a wealth of cutting-edge experience in antitrust litigation, defense of state and federal government investigations and counseling. We have a national practice and have represented clients in the full range of antitrust matters in more than 30 states.

Honigman has successfully defended a number of significant merger investigations and has defeated the U.S. Department of Justice in merger litigation. We have extensive experience in defense of antitrust class actions, and we have defeated class certification on numerous occasions. We have been very effective both defending antitrust claims and representing plaintiffs in antitrust litigation, and in advocacy before state and federal antitrust enforcement agencies. Our experience extends beyond the United States and includes international anticompetitive practices and mergers, including advocacy before the European Commission and the Canadian Competition Tribunal.

Some of our most noteworthy recent successes include successfully litigating the first antitrust case challenging a hospital’s acquisition of a physician practice and the successful defense of FTC investigations of a number of hospital mergers. We have been one of the national leaders in the health antitrust area for many years.

We focus on cost as well as success. For example, we routinely utilize outside document review firms to control the cost of litigation and routinely offer alternative fee arrangements to reduce client costs. Our clients in merger investigations have not been subject to any lengthy and expensive “second requests” in more than a decade. Further, our lawyers’ economics training allows us to often avoid the significant expense of bringing in outside expert economists.
