Antitrust

Chitwood has litigated claims under the Sherman Antitrust Act for the past 16 years and has held leadership positions in some of the nation's largest antitrust cases.  For example, Chitwood helped to secure a $50 million recovery related to pricing in the carpets industry (which is based in Georgia) and a recovery of more than $1.2 billion from price fixing in the international vitamins market. 

The firm's antitrust cases focus on price fixing and seek a refund of overcharges - the difference between artificially inflated prices and what the prices would have been in a competitive market - caused by price fixing conspiracies.
