Practice Areas & Industries: Jones Day

Practice/Industry Group Overview

Jones Day's Antitrust & Competition Law Practice consists of more than 135 counselors and litigators, located in 19 offices in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. We are recognized in professional publications and rankings as one of the leading antitrust/competition practices in the world.

Many of Jones Day's antitrust lawyers have served in senior positions in enforcement agencies in both Europe and the U.S., as well as in various professional organizations throughout the world. Several were recognized in numerous surveys of their peers as ranking among the most prominent and successful competition lawyers. Jones Day has been involved in some of the most significant antitrust matters in history, and that pattern has continued in recent years. We are privileged to represent both large international corporations and innovative small companies, in industries ranging from media and entertainment to waste disposal and from chip production to automobile manufacturing.

We provide antitrust and competition law services with respect to mergers and acquisitions, criminal and civil investigations by government agencies, antitrust litigation, antitrust/intellectual property issues, and the full range of counseling subjects (including distribution, electronic ventures of various kinds, pricing, trade associations, licensing, and standard-setting).

In Europe and Asia, Jones Day has more than 45 competition lawyers in Brussels, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Milan, Munich, Paris, Beijing, Shanghai, and Tokyo. We have significant experience with merger notifications before the European Commission and national authorities, cartel investigations, the full range of competition issues involving the telecommunications industry, state aids, dominant firm issues, and a variety of counseling issues. We are qualified to practice -- and do practice -- before the Court of First Instance and the Court of Justice of the European Communities, along with national and local courts in most countries where we have offices.

In 2005, Jones Day established The William E. Swope Antitrust Prize, an annual writing competition with a $10,000 prize, to commemorate the career of former partner Bill Swope and his contribution to antitrust practice.
