Antitrust laws are a collection of federal and state government laws that regulate the conduct and organization of business corporations. The main federal statutes are the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 and the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914. These laws are designed to promote fair competition for the benefit of consumers by preventing monopolies and other anti-competitive business practices. Key statutes can be found in Title 15 of the U.S. Code.
