Milwaukee Unfair Competition Lawyer
Unfair Competition
Unfair competition laws take many forms, ranging from the broad yet nuanced protections of antitrust law to the far-reaching but often vague unfair competition torts under state law. Assessing the strength and validity of an unfair competition claim demands a broad base of knowledge and expertise. KMK’s Business Litigators are prepared to represent individuals pursuing or defending against such claims.
Antitrust
Antitrust law can be complicated and difficult to navigate.
Successful prosecution or defense of claims involving antitrust violations, unfair competition, breaches of dealership or franchise laws, or improper trade practices requires both experience and a nuanced understanding of legal precedent. That’s where we come in. KMK is recognized as one of the nation’s leading firms in antitrust and trade regulation, with extensive experience in both state and federal courts—including multiple appearances before the U.S. Supreme Court. This depth of experience gives us a distinct advantage in a field where success often hinges on persuading the court of accepted industry practices and the overall fairness of the conduct in question. Our Business Litigators have represented individuals, as well as classes of plaintiffs and defendants, in litigation, arbitration, and mediation.
Unfair Competition Torts
Every state differs in what types of competition are considered unfair and legally actionable. While most states recognize a tort for intentional interference, the specific elements, burdens of proof, and prohibited conduct vary significantly. Some states also recognize a general unfair competition tort, though such claims are rarely pursued—and even more rarely successful. Navigating the complexities of these claims requires deep experience and sound judgment. Our Business Litigators have represented both plaintiffs and defendants in unfair competition matters across the United States and are prepared to assist clients with whatever their needs may be.
