Private Antitrust Litigation

Private antitrust litigation involves individuals or companies suing businesses for violating laws that promote fair competition. When a company engages in unfair practices—like fixing prices, exclusive dealings, or monopolizing a market—affected parties can seek legal remedies through private lawsuits. These cases aim to stop anti-competitive behavior, prevent harm to consumers and competitors, and secure damages for those harmed. Unlike government-led antitrust actions, private litigation is initiated and prosecuted by private parties motivated by the potential for compensation and correction of unfair practices.
