The Federal Trade Commission, Department of Justice, State Attorneys General, and a variety of other federal agencies and international bodies are actively engaged in enforcing domestic and international competition legal regimes. Responding to agency investigations and enforcement proceedings puts a premium on sound judgment, credibility, advocacy and knowing the ropes. Pierce Atwood attorneys are adept at navigating these sensitive matters and the collateral corporate governance, litigation, public relations, and customer issues that often accompany them. Many of our attorneys served in federal or state agencies with enforcement responsibilities in antitrust, competition or international compliance matters, so we understand that better outcomes result from being persuasive and persistent on vital client interests while picking the right battles, and understanding how to generate successful resolutions.
