Introducing the Womble Carlyle Antitrust and Distribution Law Blog

Tomorrow will be the first day for the Womble Carlyle Antitrust and Distribution Law Blog. This blog will comment on recent developments in the areas of antitrust, distribution law, franchise law, advertising laws and regulations, unfair competition, and other types of trade regulation. Of special interest will be the intersection of antitrust and intellectual property, state franchise and dealer protection statutes, and issues related to the efficient and effective distribution and pricing of products. Although the blog will cover national and international developments, additional focus will be given to developments in the Southeast, including the states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.

Blog authors will include Jason Hicks as well as other members of Womble Carlyle's Antitrust, Distribution, and Franchise Law Practice Group. Womble Carlyle attorneys represent clients in a wide variety of matters involving antitrust and trade regulation at the state, federal, and international levels. Members of this practice group regularly counsel clients and litigate cases involving federal and state antitrust laws, unfair and deceptive trade practices, business torts, advertising laws and regulations, unfair competition laws and trade libel.
