Uncovering Corporate Misconduct: Price-Fixing Antitrust Litigation

Uncovering Corporate Misconduct: Price-Fixing Antitrust Litigation
Price-Fixing Antitrust Litigation

February 7, 2025

Price-fixing is a severe antitrust violation that occurs when businesses conspire to manipulate market prices, harming consumers and businesses alike. Proving these cases requires uncovering hidden agreements, analyzing financial records, and connecting with insiders who can reveal unlawful practices. Stratejic Relationships provides trial lawyers with the investigative support needed to expose price-fixing schemes and hold corporations accountable.

Understanding Price-Fixing Violations

Price-fixing occurs when competitors agree to:

  • Raise or fix prices rather than allowing market competition.
  • Restrict supply to manipulate demand and increase profits.
  • Divide territories or customers to avoid competition.
  • Collude on bid-rigging in government or commercial contracts.

Challenges in Price-Fixing Cases

  • Concealed Agreements: Businesses conduct price-fixing discussions secretly, leaving little direct evidence. Internal communications, meeting records, and financial patterns must be examined.
  • Complex Financial Analysis: Requires expert examination of pricing trends, cost structures, and historical sales data to prove coordinated activity.
  • Corporate Retaliation: Whistleblowers face intimidation, requiring careful legal protection and strategic witness preparation.

How Stratejic Relationships Supports Antitrust Litigation

  • Identifying Insider Witnesses: Locating former employees or industry insiders willing to testify about illicit agreements.
  • Analyzing Financial Records: Finding irregularities that suggest coordinated pricing schemes across competitors.
  • Uncovering Internal Communications: Securing emails, meeting notes, and documents proving collusion, often hidden within company networks.

Holding Corporations Accountable

With the right evidence and expert witnesses, Stratejic Relationships helps trial lawyers build strong antitrust cases that challenge unlawful corporate behavior, ensuring justice for affected businesses and consumers.
