ABOUT OUR ANTITRUST TEAM

Antitrust investigations and litigation—whether involving proposed mergers and acquisitions (M&A) or allegations of anticompetitive conduct—require clear, expert economic analysis.

When antitrust disputes arise, effective economic testimony is essential. Secretariat’s experts excel at presenting understandable, persuasive analyses to judges, juries, and arbitrators. We provide clear testimony in cases involving price fixing, bid rigging, monopolization, and more. Whether addressing class certification, damage estimation, or competitive harm, our experts integrate rigorous economic reasoning with relevant legal standards, case law, and the unique facts of each case
