antitrust enforcement actions

Antitrust enforcement actions are legal measures taken by governments to promote competition and prevent monopolies or unfair business practices. When companies engage in behaviors that restrict competition—like price-fixing, market division, or abusing market power—antitrust authorities step in to investigate. The goal is to ensure a level playing field, allowing consumers to benefit from fair prices and choices. These actions can lead to penalties, changes in business practices, or even breaking up companies that dominate the market unfairly. Ultimately, antitrust laws protect consumers and promote economic fairness.
