Price-Fixing Antitrust Litigation - Holding Companies Accountable

Price-Fixing Antitrust Litigation
August 22, 2024
Price-fixing is one of the most damaging antitrust violations, as it directly harms consumers by artificially inflating prices. Price-fixing antitrust litigation seeks to hold companies accountable for colluding to set prices, thereby undermining competition and violating antitrust laws.
Price-fixing occurs when competing companies conspire to set prices at a certain level, rather than allowing the free market to determine prices through supply and demand. This illegal practice results in higher costs for consumers and businesses, who are forced to pay more for goods or services than they would in a competitive market.
Price-fixing can take various forms, including horizontal price-fixing, where competitors agree to set the same prices, and vertical price-fixing, where manufacturers and retailers agree on minimum or maximum prices. Both types of price-fixing are illegal under antitrust laws.
Antitrust laws, such as the Sherman Act, are designed to promote competition and prevent anticompetitive practices like price-fixing. These laws allow individuals and businesses harmed by price-fixing to file lawsuits and seek compensation for the financial impact of inflated prices.
Price-fixing cases can be challenging to prove, as they often involve secret agreements between competitors. However, plaintiffs can use evidence such as communications between companies, pricing patterns, and expert testimony to demonstrate that price-fixing occurred and harmed consumers.
