Our approach to antitrust matters is decidedly different from other firms because, in addition to representing classes composed of individuals, we have also represented multi-national corporations, as well as medium and small businesses as both plaintiffs and defendants. We are selective in the litigation we pursue and consistently position that litigation for success in the courtroom. We have found this approach yields the best results for our clients, whether at the settlement table or at trial. We carefully consider the objectives and economic realities in every case, looking for the best way to achieve an outcome that meets the needs of our clients.
The experience and track record of our attorneys in antitrust, consumer fraud, and other mass actions has been recognized in courts across the nation. We have recovered hundreds of millions for our plaintiff clients, and we have successfully defended other clients in mitigating their most significant exposures. We have substantial experience not just settling the antitrust, consumer fraud and mass actions that we handle, but trying them.
