Violations of Antitrust Laws

There are three primary antitrust laws in place that are considered an integral part of establishing and maintaining a thriving economy by preventing monopolies and keeping a competitive, fair environment for all businesses, large and small. The Sherman Act of 1890, the Clayton Act of 1914 and the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914 all govern antitrust violations in the United States. Violations of these Acts may result in serious penalties for an individual or business.

Some examples of potential antitrust violations include price fixing, market dividing, mergers, monopolization, unfair competition, unfair business practices, preventing fair competition and discriminating between merchants.

Under the Sherman Act, a defendant may face federal sentencing of up to $1,000,000 in fines as an individual or $100,000,000 as a business. A 10-year prison sentence may also be imposed.
