Antitrust & Competition

BRG experts combine a deep understanding of actual market behavior with relevant economic theory and sound empirical research.

Independent and objective

From offices across the United States, continental Europe, and the United Kingdom, BRG experts provide independent and objective testimony to counsel, corporations, and governments around the world in matters involving antitrust litigation, mergers and acquisitions, agency competition reviews, and state aid cases. They have provided testimony and made presentations concerning antitrust issues in US state and federal courts and in meetings and hearings before the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), European Commission, US Department of Justice, UK Competition and Markets Authority, and other tribunals; and before sector-speciﬁc regulators.

Our practice’s antitrust litigation experience includes analyzing claims of price ﬁxing, examining the competitive effects of alleged actual or attempted monopolization, anticompetitive tying or bundling, exclusionary practices, and abuse of a dominance; and investigating other competition issues such as those related to alleged price discrimination and predatory pricing. Our experts have signiﬁcant experience examining economic issues associated with proposed class certiﬁcation in antitrust matters and analyzing issues related to possible damages associated with all types of antitrust disputes. In addition, BRG provides our litigation clients and their counsel with data and document discovery, data management, and litigation support services.
