The Antitrust Law seeks to prevent anti-competitive actions within markets to protect consumer welfare and ensure opportunities for all businesses. To achieve these objectives, it prohibits practices that restrict free competition between business entities, such as creating cartels, bans anti-competitive practices of firms that lead to their dominance in particular markets, and controls mergers and acquisitions of large companies. However, in this age of rapid innovation especially in the cyberspace economy, it’s essential that these practices are regulated to serve the consumers' interests and should promoting competition. Technology is making the global environment much more interconnected leading to legal antitrust issues that may not have been conceived before. Attorneys need to be in the know on an up to the minute basis in order to properly advise their clients on these issues.
