>Antitrust Litigation

Antitrust is the area of law concerned with protecting consumers and businesses by preserving healthy competition and fair trade in the marketplace.

Hagens Berman has earned an enviable reputation as experts in this often-confusing and combative area of corporate litigation. Our attorneys have a deep understanding of the legal and economic issues within the marketplace, allowing us to employ groundbreaking market theories that shed light on monopolistic, restrictive and anti-competitive practices.

Our firm currently represents millions of consumers in several high-profile class-action lawsuits, and takes on major antitrust litigation that has the potential to improve market conditions for consumers, businesses and investors.

Recently, Hagens Berman acted as lead counsel in the largest antitrust settlement in United States history, reaching a settlement in a case against Visa and MasterCard for approximately $3 billion. The trial judge has also valued injunctive relief in excess of $20 billion.

Our firm has also handled antitrust litigation in several important areas, including artificial shortages and price-fixing in the electricity market and price manipulation in the California gas market.
