Consumer Protection and Antitrust

Arete Law Group represents clients in consumer protection and antitrust matters, providing business counseling, regulatory, and litigation advice for these complex areas of the law.  We regularly advise clients on antitrust and consumer protection compliance issues, and we have extensive experience assisting clients in federal and state government investigations of alleged consumer protection and antitrust violations. In addition, we have litigated complex, multi-hundred million and multi-billion dollar antitrust cases for both plaintiffs and defendants, including class action cases and case consolidated by the Judicial Panel for Multidistrict Litigation.  In the antitrust area, our lawyers have worked with nationally and internationally recognized economic experts, including several Nobel Laureates.  Our successful management of consumer protection and antitrust matters combines deep substantive knowledge, litigation experience, constructive working relationships with government attorneys in State consumer protection agencies and the office of the United States Attorney General for Antitrust. 

We work together with our clients to help them maximize their business success, while at the same time assuring compliance with consumer protection and antitrust laws.  In litigation matters, our track record of extraordinary success – both on behalf of plaintiffs and defendants – helps us efficiently manage the litigation while at the same time seeking early, favorable outcomes through mediation and settlement.  We place great value on developing and maintaining strong partnerships with our clients. To that end, we take the time to learn about their businesses and operations; are committed to addressing their needs to help them succeed; and strive to resolve their problems quickly, creatively, and cost-effectively, as well as continually exceed their expectations.
