For many people the mere mention of antitrust litigation
conjure up the image of lawyers and accountants locked in fierce legal battle. However,
the actual definition of the process is very simple.
Antitrust litigations a special set of litigation that aims
to uncover and breakdown unfair monopolies in any market. The aim is to remove
unfair and artificial barriers to market forces and ensure that everyone has a
fair chance of doing business.
The main character of any antitrust litigation is the
antitrust lawyer. San Diego, like other US
cities is home to several large law practices that specialize in antitrust law.
This law is an umbrella term for state and federal mandated laws that deal with
market competition. These lawyers are
well versed in the intricacies of antitrust legislation.
Many businesses, regardless of their size and industry, shy away
from antitrust litigation. While businesses do not wish to participate in any
type of legal trouble, they are very particular about antitrust litigation for
a very practical reason. The only winner in these cases is the antitrust
lawyer. In San Diego,
for instance, these litigations could get very complex and lengthy. After all
the complexities and the long duration of the trail, the results are very
unpredictable. The business could easily loose part of their holdings and are slapped
by costly fines. In extreme cases, the courts could order a business to
withdraw from a particular market altogether. This could result in the loss of
all investments made in that market.
