Antitrust laws include both state and federal laws that were developed in order to put limitations on businesses in order to help prevent monopolies from forming and also to help ensure businesses compete fairly in the marketplace. Antitrust laws also serve to protect consumers. There are numerous specific actions which may be covered under Florida antitrust law, and as such it is important to have a full understanding of these before making the decision to take legal action.
