San Diego Antitrust and Competition Law Attorney
The goal of state and federal antitrust and trade regulation statutes is to promote free and fair competition among businesses. Antitrust, trade regulation and unfair competition issues present themselves in many business transactions, but due to the complexity of the laws, such problems are often overlooked. Related consumer protection statutes, such as California's Business & Professions Code section 17200 and the Federal Trade Commission Act present a potential minefield for uninformed businesses. From his San Diego office, James C. Stevens provides experienced legal counsel and litigation services for businesses involved in antitrust, unfair competition and trade regulation disputes, all at rates significantly less than those charged by larger firms.
