Antitrust Litigation
Hagens Berman’s antitrust attorneys work to preserve healthy competition and fair trade in the marketplace by protecting consumers and businesses that purchase goods and services from price-fixing, market allocation agreements, monopolistic schemes and other violations of antitrust law.
We have earned a reputation as experts in this often confusing and combative area of commercial 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 in violation of both federal and state antitrust and unfair competition laws.
Hagens Berman currently represents millions of consumers in several high-profile class-action antitrust lawsuits, and takes on major antitrust litigation that has the potential to improve market conditions for consumers and businesses. We have represented plaintiffs in markets as diverse as debit and credit cards services, personal computer components, television screens, electric and gas power, airlines, personal computer software, computer games and internet services. We are proud of our track record which includes some of the largest recoveries in the nation. As in all practice areas we fight until we have achieved a high percent recovery for our clients.
