Antitrust
FSG’s experts have worked on a wide variety of domestic and international antitrust issues in litigation and for various regulatory authorities. Our litigation experience includes liability and damages analyses on cases involving monopolization, monopsony power, price fixing and restraint of trade, among others. Our experts have also provided written and oral testimony regarding the competitive effects of mergers before various regulatory bodies.
The purpose of an antitrust damages assessment is to quantify the economic outcome that would have taken place absent any illegal anticompetitive behavior. FSG experts are adept at applying complex economic theory and sophisticated econometric analyses to case facts. We have extensive experience at quantifying economic damages resulting from anticompetitive conduct and know how to present our findings clearly and effectively.
FSG experts have extensive experience analyzing the effects of price fixing, bid rigging, market share allocation, and other forms of collusive behavior. Through the use of sophisticated econometric modeling and the rigorous application of economic theory to case facts, our experts have successfully opined on both liability and damages issues arising from claims of collusion among market participants.
Properly defining an antitrust market is an important component to many antitrust claims. FSG experts are adept at applying the horizontal merger guidelines, case law, and rigorous economic analysis to case facts to develop accurate and defensible market definitions in antitrust matters.
FSG experts have unparalleled experience in analyzing the likely competitive effects of proposed mergers. Our economists have developed advanced merger simulation models, and have provided sophisticated economic analyses to competition authorities and industry clients in some of the largest merger transactions on record.
FSG experts have provided consulting services, economic analyses and expert opinions on a wide variety of monopolization and attempted monopolization claims across a number of industries. We are experienced at defining relevant antitrust markets and determining the presence and abuse of dominant positions within those markets. Our economists have assisted clients, federal agencies and state governments on a number of important cases involving claims under Sherman Act and Clayton Act.
FSG economists have analyzed a number of price discrimination claims brought under the Robinson-Patman Act. We are skilled at collecting, organizing, and analyzing pricing data, and we know how to account for the effects and timing of price promotions, advertising and other activities that can cloud results. Moreover, our experts can credibly explain the results of these complex analyses in an understandable and persuasive manner.
Vertical restraints of trade can occur at different levels of the production and distribution process. FSG economists and industry professionals are experienced at analyzing the relationships and contractual agreements throughout the upstream and downstream sections of the supply chain. We have provided expert opinions and analyses on a number of cases involving claims of vertical restraints of trade, including resale price maintenance matters, exclusive dealing matters and territorial restriction matters.
