Antitrust class actions are brought pursuant to federal and state antitrust laws. These actions are initiated by individuals and businesses injured by the anti-competitive conduct of their suppliers, purchasers, competitors and others with whom they have a business relationship. This includes anti-competitive conduct occurring abroad, which affects United States markets. Violations of the antitrust laws include price-fixing, bid-rigging, monopolization, resale price maintenance and price discrimination. The antitrust laws also prohibit corporate mergers and acquisitions so large and encompassing that, if consummated, would likely inhibit competition and other corporate conduct designed with the intention to be predatory or to monopolize.

SBTK combats this anti-competitive conduct through class action litigation and has been appointed by courts to leadership positions in several important antitrust actions filed in state and federal courts throughout the country.
