Craig O'Dear has practiced law since graduating from Vanderbilt Law School in 1982. In his time as an attorney, Craig O'Dear has prosecuted and defended cases involving a wide range of claims, including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, wage law, negligence and antitrust law violations.
Antitrust law, which originated in the 1800s, refers to statutes that are designed to foster fair competition amongst businesses and protect consumers from unfair practices. These laws help to limit the ability of businesses to create monopolies in the marketplace, which is when a single business has control over an entire market segment.
Moreover, antitrust laws help fight against other violations that would improperly alter competition. The first of these violations include market allocation, which is when several companies conspire within a market segment to limit competition. Another violation, known as bid rigging, occurs when companies price products or services unfairly. Finally, price fixing occurs when two companies that have controlling interest of a market conspire to artificially inflate prices.
