Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice

The Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (DOJ) is a branch of the U.S. government responsible for enforcing laws that promote fair competition and prevent monopolies. Its main goal is to ensure that businesses compete fairly, which helps protect consumers from high prices and poor quality products. The division investigates and challenges anti-competitive practices such as price-fixing, market manipulation, and mergers that could reduce competition. By maintaining a competitive marketplace, the Antitrust Division aims to foster innovation and improve choices for consumers.
