Bingham is widely recognized for our work in antitrust and trade regulation law and litigation. Best Lawyers 2010 ranked the firm No. 1 in U.S. antitrust law and Chambers USA 2010 ranked us No. 1 in Massachusetts and No. 3 in California. We represent clients in matters involving all aspects of antitrust law in federal and state courts throughout the United States and before the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, state attorneys general, and international competition authorities.
Renowned for our antitrust litigation strength and our success in class actions, government investigations, and merger clearance and litigation, our Antitrust and Trade Regulation Group has more than 70 lawyers with significant and diverse antitrust experience. We recently expanded our antitrust capabilities in our London office and bolstered our nationwide strength in the U.S. by undertaking a major expansion of our antitrust practice in the nation’s capital, with four antitrust partners joining the Washington office.
