Fighting corporate monopolies and cartels and defending market competition

Competitive markets are essential to a healthy economy. When companies conspire to fix prices, rig bids, allocate markets, restrict output, monopolize industries, or otherwise suppress competition, the businesses, investors, and consumers who depend on those markets suffer real financial harm.

Lowey Dannenberg represents businesses, institutional investors, and consumers in complex antitrust litigation. Our attorneys have extensive experience litigating price-fixing conspiracies, monopolization, bid-rigging, market allocation agreements, unlawful information sharing, and benchmark manipulation under federal and state antitrust laws.

We work with leading economists, industry experts, and data analysts to uncover anticompetitive conduct, quantify damages, and secure meaningful recoveries for those harmed.
