Antitrust & Trade Laws | National Law Review

Antitrust laws are highly regulated and relate to many corporate and company maneuverers and transactions. Regulators in the antitrust industry scrutinize business decisions, regulations, reform, and national and international relations between large and small companies consistently. The National Law Review covers various sectors of the antitrust sector, including trade regulations, unfair competition, illegal business practices, and national/international trade laws which affect companies in the US and around the world.

The National Law Review covers regulations and industry practices stemming from major government agencies including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the United States Department of Justice Antitrust Division. In addition to this coverage, visitors can routinely read about reviews of foreign investments in the US, which are headed by the CFIUS (Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States), which are conducted nationally and internationally. News related to these government entities, as well as transactions reported to these agencies and litigation stemming from their decisions and rulings is consistently reported on the National Law Review.

Because many acquisitions and deals revolve around international or multinational companies, antitrust law is governed by both US and international laws. The National Law Review offers visitors in-depth analysis of these laws, how they affect transactions, and potential global repercussions for organizations/companies that are engaging in such deals across a variety of industries, including healthcare.

Among the different cases, news, and stories visitors to the National Law Review will find include illegal price-fixing between major corporations, Antidumping and Countervailing duties (AD/CV), illegal hiring practices, merger and acquisition (M&A) deals, unfair practices/illegal trade, joint ventures, and deceptive practice matters, among other stories. Visitors looking for the latest antitrust news, laws, and information on mergers and other transactions shaking up a variety of industries will find these stories updated on the NLR website regularly.
