If you are a plaintiff or attorney and you are seeking lawsuit funding for an antitrust dispute, begin by applying with LawLeaf today. LawLeaf provides an array of different types of commercial litigation financing cases including antitrust lawsuits. Antitrust law also referred to as competition law is set-up to protect the interests of consumers. In the United States antitrust laws are governed by both state and federal laws in order to deter monopolies. The law was also set-up to allow small business to compete in open markets. The Sherman Act was passed by congress in 1890 which states that any person or entity that attempts or conspires to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the States, or with foreign nations, shall be guilty of a felony. If a corporation is found guilty of violating the Sherman Act it could result in fines up to 10 million dollars.
The Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914 was put in place in order to deter monopolies from mergers or acquisitions. - Antitrust laws are put in place to deter the following:
- Price fixing
- Conspiracy to price fixing
- Prevent competition
- Monopolies
Antitrust laws are enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the United States Department of Justice's Antitrust Division. The FTC handles the cease and desist orders while the Department of Justice's litigate the cases.
Antitrust laws involve a wide range of industries and markets throughout the United States and abroad. These cases can be brought to both the federal and state courts throughout the United States. Class action lawsuits are oftentimes brought upon companies suspected of unfair competition.
When a plaintiff or attorney requests lawsuit funding for an antitrust lawsuit it can be due to the amount of time it takes to litigate the case. These types of lawsuits can take years before a verdict. Oftentimes attorneys will request lines of credit to help litigate such cases. The money is typically used to gather evidence and expert witnesses to help win a case. The defense typically has large defense teams with the experience to drag on cases for years, which can ultimately result in depleting a law firm of its financial obligations to other clients and employees.
