Sher & Blackwell has extensive
experience in counseling clients located in the United States and foreign countries with
regard to the application of the antitrust laws to a wide variety of international and
domestic activities and transactions. Because many of the matters presented are international in scope, Sher &
Blackwell regularly 
corresponds with lawyers in Europe, the Middle
East, Central and South America, Asia and Australia on competition law issues.
A significant number of the firm’s clients are
associations or other organizations whose members engage in various types of concerted
conduct. As a result, Sher & Blackwell is regularly called upon to provide counsel on
how, if at all, such concerted action may be taken. In addition to extensive counseling,
lawyers in the firm have litigated antitrust cases before the courts and are experienced
in dealing with the Department of Justice.
The firm has a particular expertise in international
transportation which remains a regulated industry. Application of the antitrust laws in
this regulated industry presents issues which Sher & Blackwell is uniquely qualified
to deal with. Lawyers in the firm are regularly called upon to provide antitrust compliance seminars and materials for companies engaged in maritime commerce and international trade.
As part of its transactional practice, Sher & Blackwell
has considerable experience in the preparation and filing of premerger notifications under
the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act. It is also familiar with similar
competition law registrations in numerous countries worldwide.
