In close collaboration with our lawyers involved in energy regulatory matters, we have worked extensively with energy clients on the full range of antitrust issues. This has included antitrust advice on oil and gas development and marketing, natural gas pipelines and LNG projects, electricity generation and marketing, and electricity restructuring. Mergers and acquisitions, civil and criminal investigations by federal and state antitrust agencies, and almost a dozen private antitrust suits in the last decade illustrate the breadth of antitrust experience our lawyers bring to clients in this industry.
