Strategic Counsel on Compliance, Risk, and Enforcement
Our Antitrust and Trade Regulation practice combines the insights of both corporate and litigation attorneys to provide clients with comprehensive legal support across the full spectrum of antitrust compliance and enforcement. We regularly advise on the antitrust implications of mergers, joint ventures, distribution arrangements, and other business practices, helping clients structure their operations to achieve commercial goals while minimizing regulatory risk.
Litigation and Regulatory Defense
When disputes arise, we represent clients in antitrust and unfair trade practices investigations and litigation in both Puerto Rico’s state courts and U.S. federal courts. Our attorneys have experience prosecuting and defending complex claims involving price fixing, exclusive dealing, restraint of trade, and other competitive conduct issues. We also counsel clients in connection with investigations and enforcement actions brought by local and federal regulatory agencies, including the Puerto Rico Department of Justice and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Preventive Strategies and Transactional Guidance
In addition to handling disputes, our team provides forward-looking guidance to help clients avoid antitrust pitfalls in day-to-day operations and strategic transactions. We work closely with businesses across industries—including manufacturing, transportation, distribution, healthcare, and consumer services—to review contracts, assess competitive impact, and develop compliance policies tailored to Puerto Rico’s legal landscape and federal standards. By aligning legal strategy with business objectives, we help clients reduce exposure and stay ahead of regulatory scrutiny.
