Unlike other types of complex commercial litigation, all good antitrust cases are fundamentally the same.

Whatever the industry or the specific conduct at issue, well-told antitrust stories for over a century have followed the same classic narrative arc: firms clinging to legacy technologies and business models seeking to eliminate a more competitive future. The cast of characters in a winning antitrust case are remarkably consistent—a firm or firms with sufficient market power to matter but not enough to be invulnerable, a maverick supplier offering a different and more efficient vision of market-wide price and output, and consumers who end up harmed by being forced to deal with the former rather than the latter. To prevail, the plaintiff must tell this time-honored story in a way that is legally viable, economically sound, and emotionally resonant with the finder of fact. That is the difference between good antitrust lawyers and mediocre ones—and often the difference between winning and losing.

We bring antitrust cases because we love to tell this story. Our clients hire us because they have specific business goals that antitrust law can advance. Some come to us when a once-promising business model has been destroyed by the anticompetitive conduct of entrenched rivals; for these clients we monetize a legal claim that is often their most valuable remaining corporate asset, pursuing damages that return to the firm what anticompetitive conduct took from it. Others with valuable, growing businesses engage us to wield antitrust as a strategic tool for managing relationships with difficult competitors or dominant input suppliers, where a favorable business resolution is frequently more important than a monetary award. Whatever our clients' objectives, we combine the seasoned judgment of partners who have litigated these matters from every angle with advanced AI tools for rapid analysis, economic modeling, and strategy development, delivering the sophistication of the largest firms without the overhead.
