- Unfair CompetitionUnfair Competition – Similar to unfair business practices, unfair competition encompasses a variety of potential claims including defamation, fraud, misrepresentations, trademark and trade dress infringement, and misappropriation of trade secrets and confidential information. Also similar to unfair business practices, unfair competition cases often involve voluminous evidence and complex legal theories. Our litigation attorneys have handled these cases in the past and will provide positive results to our clients.
- Antitrust• Antitrust and Trade Regulation – Antitrust and trade regulation laws restrict anti-competitive conduct by corporations, and prohibit collusion amongst competitors and supply-side partners. Both South Carolina and federal law prohibit practices such as monopolization, horizontal and vertical price fixing, market allocation, exclusivity agreements, tying arrangements, and predatory pricing. We serve as both plaintiff’s counsel and defense counsel in antitrust and trade regulation matters in all industries.
