Antitrust Litigation

Antitrust laws exist to prevent monopolies, protect competition, and ensure consumers have fair choices. Antitrust litigation addresses issues such as:

  • Monopoly leveraging
  • Pricefixing or predatory pricing
  • Unfair competition
  • Unfair and deceptive trade practices

Case Spotlight: In 2013, healthcare providers and policyholders accused Blue Cross Blue Shield of violating antitrust laws by dividing service areas among its 36 plans. Beasley Allen played a key role in securing a $2.8 billion settlement—the largest antitrust settlement in U.S. healthcare history.

We also handle cases involving false advertising, baitandswitch tactics, and other deceptive practices that harm consumers and limit competition.

Commercial Disputes

Common disputes include:

  • Breach of contract – when one party fails to meet obligations in a legally binding agreement
  • Defamation – false statements that damage a business or individual’s reputation (libel or slander)
  • Business fraud – deceptive practices that cause financial harm

Commercial disputes can arise between:

  • Two businesses
  • A business and a customer
  • Business partners

Victims of fraud or defamation may be entitled to compensatory damages for financial losses and, in some cases, punitive damages to punish wrongdoing and deter future misconduct.

Beasley Allen has successfully represented:

Businesses in disputes involving fraud, breach of contract, interference with contracts, and theft of trade secrets

Consumers in fraud cases against insurance companies, mortgage lenders, banks, manufacturers, and retailers

Intellectual Property Litigation

Our intellectual property attorneys protect the rights of innovators, creators, and businesses. We handle cases involving:

  • Trade secrets – confidential business information like formulas, processes, or strategies
  • Trademarks – brand identifiers such as logos, slogans, or product names
  • Copyrights – original creative works, including art, writing, and software
  • Patents – inventions and unique product designs

We help clients enforce their IP rights, stop infringement, and recover damages when their intellectual property is stolen or misused.

Litigation for States & Municipalities

Our business litigation team has a proven track record representing states and municipalities in highprofile cases involving:

  • Financial losses
  • Consumer injury
  • Environmental disasters

We have recovered more than $4 billion for states, driving major reforms in how healthcare companies conduct business with Medicaid agencies. Our work has helped protect taxpayer dollars, improve oversight, and hold powerful corporations accountable.

Notable successes include representing local governments in landmark opioid litigation against pharmaceutical companies accused of misleading the public about the dangers of their products, and playing a pivotal role in the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill case—securing over $2 billion for the State of Alabama to address economic losses and environmental damage.
