Antitrust law
In the media, there are constantly reports of illegal price-fixing or market domination, which involve the conduct of companies specifically as it relates to antitrust or competition law. Antitrust law encompasses all legal norms aimed at achieving unrestricted competition on the broadest possible level. Antitrust issues particularly include bans on cartels, prohibiting the abuse of a dominant position in the market and overseeing mergers.
