We handle both civil and criminal antitrust cases, from multidistrict litigation and class actions to investigations by federal and state officials.
Our attorneys also offer strategic guidance on circumventing class actions, securing antitrust clearances, and developing a cogent competition strategy that will hold up in court, at the negotiation table, or before an antitrust agency.
Our group has achieved success for clients through every possible means: through decisive advocacy in court and strategic thinking during appeals, via advantageous settlement, by prevailing on critical pretrial rulings, and by consistently gaining tactical advantages such as narrowing the scope of litigation and limiting potential damages.
We have obtained important victories in precedent-setting cases, including complicated multidistrict litigation with billions of dollars on the line. And when a company’s market share has been threatened by anticompetitive conduct, we have brought suit and obtained significant victories at trial and through multimillion-dollar settlements.
We represent leading U.S. companies in the pharmaceutical, chemical, accreditation, retail and financial sectors in top-tier cases with billions at stake. The group is particularly well known for its work in monopolization and conspiracy cases for both corporate plaintiffs and defendants.
