Massey & Gail attorneys have decades of experience handling complex cases involving federal and state antitrust and competition laws. These cases have spanned industries and business sectors of all kinds—from national railroads to pharmaceutical and health sciences to path-breaking technologies.
Our antitrust work includes claims involving monopolization, price-fixing, market allocation, exclusive dealing, and other competition issues arising in commercial relationships. Often layered on top of civil actions are government investigations or other regulatory issues that require even greater strategic analysis.
The need for persuasive, simplified presentations takes on special importance because lay judges and juries must understand sophisticated economic concepts and analyses. The prospect of treble damages and fee-shifting radically magnify the stakes.
