Who is included in this ranking?

Lawyers eligible to practice in Florida, with an office in a Florida city we cover and antitrust as a practice area on record. It ranks every antitrust lawyer LexRanked tracks in Florida by the same score and shows the top 25. The Florida Bar does not board-certify lawyers in antitrust, so the practice area is the one each lawyer lists on their Florida Bar profile, which The Florida Bar does not review. How we rank.

Florida rules to know

A business injured by price-fixing or another restraint of trade in Florida can recover three times its damages plus attorney fees, and must sue within 4 years.

Rule What it means
Restraint of trade Every contract, combination or conspiracy in restraint of trade or commerce in Florida is unlawful (Fla. Stat. § 542.18)
Treble damages A person injured in business or property recovers three times the damages, plus costs and a reasonable attorney fee (§ 542.22(1))
Florida deadline 4 years after the cause of action accrues, suspended while a state enforcement action is pending and for 1 year after (§ 542.26)
Federal law Contracts and conspiracies in restraint of interstate trade are illegal (15 U.S.C. § 1); an injured person recovers three times the damages and attorney fees (15 U.S.C. § 15)
Federal deadline 4 years after the cause of action accrued (15 U.S.C. § 15b)
Non-compete agreements A restrictive covenant is enforceable only if it is in a signed writing, reasonable in time, area and line of business, and supported by a legitimate business interest (§ 542.335(1))

Cases are heard in the county where they arise; see which judicial circuit covers each county.

How to choose among these lawyers

Confirm the license, prefer a lawyer who regularly works in your county, ask who will handle your matter, and get the fee terms in writing.

  1. Look up the lawyer in The Florida Bar's directory and check the bar number shown on their LexRanked profile.
  2. Ask how many matters like yours the lawyer has handled in your county recently.
  3. Ask how they charge and what costs are extra, and get the agreement in writing.
