An Antitrust Expert Witness may examine customer substitution, product characteristics, pricing, sales patterns, geographic constraints, competitors, and evidence showing how buyers respond to changes in price or other competitive terms. Economic analysis may consider direct competition, customer behavior, market characteristics, and other evidence relevant to defining product and geographic boundaries. This analysis can inform the antitrust issues in dispute, while the legal definition of the relevant market remains a matter for the court or other decision-maker.
Market shares can help describe the relative positions of firms within a defined market. An Antitrust Expert Witness may also use measures such as the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, or HHI, which reflects concentration based on firms' market shares. Concentration measures can provide information about market structure, but their significance depends on the market definition, competitive conditions, entry, and other facts relevant to the dispute.
Prices, discounts, bids, margins, transaction histories, customer records, and competitor information can show how firms competed over time. An Antitrust Expert Witness may analyze these records to assess patterns involving substitution, coordination, market power, competitive responses, or changes in market behavior. A particular pricing or bidding pattern should be evaluated in context and does not by itself establish an antitrust violation.
Antitrust expertise focuses on competition at the market level, including market definition, market power, concentration, substitution, competitive effects, and economic behavior among firms. Unfair Competition expertise may address a broader range of disputed marketplace practices, including certain forms of competitive conduct involving business practices, branding, or intellectual property. When the central issue requires economic analysis of market structure or competitive effects, an Antitrust Expert Witness may provide the more focused analysis.

Antitrust expertise may become central when a proposed or completed transaction raises questions about market concentration, competitive constraints, entry, market power, or the transaction's effects on competition. Mergers and Acquisitions expertise focuses more directly on the transaction process, including negotiations, deal structure, agreements, consideration, purchase adjustments, approvals, and closing. A merger dispute may involve both areas, but each addresses a different aspect of the transaction.
