Anti-trust laws exist to protect consumers and businesses that rely on America's free-market system from unfair trade practices.  Cases can be brought by ordinary consumers who have suffered the anti-competitive impact of antitrust violations.  These cases frequently reveal previously unknown, unlawful conduct such as price-fixing, monopolization, monopoly leveraging, essential facilities, tying arrangements, vertical restraints, exclusive dealing and refusals to deal.  Robbins Umeda & Fink's antitrust practice focuses on representing small businesses and individuals who have been the victims of such price-fixing, unfair trade practices or other anticompetitive conduct.
