Client Successes

Apex v. DiMauro

Our lawyers represented one of the oil company defendants in the Apex v. DiMauro litigation. The case involved allegations of an antitrust and commodities fraud conspiracy among a number of heating oil companies that had traded contracts on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

A Major FTC Investigation

Our lawyers represented a major automotive distributor in a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigation alleging conspiracy to restrict the importation of goods into the United States.

Providing Counsel to a Retail Giant

We successfully defended a national specialty retailer in an enforcement action initiated by the Massachusetts Attorney General regarding the retailer’s discounting claims and compliance with consumer protection laws.

Pursuing Creative Theories

Represented a plaintiff in pursuing patent and antitrust claims against a competitor and obtained a substantial verdict after 2 jury trials. This case involved an interesting monopolization claim predicated on allegations that the defendant had precipitously entered the market with a product not ready for sale in order to block the plaintiff's market entry with an innovative, patented product.

Resolving Conflicts, Saving Time and Money

Our lawyers assisted a major manufacturer of diagnostic medical equipment in resolving a costly and time-consuming antitrust and patent infringement litigation. Working with the company’s in-house lawyers and key business executives, we analyzed the merits of the claims, the amount of potential damages and the business objectives the client hoped to achieve. After two days of mediation, the matter was satisfactorily resolved, at minimal additional expense.

Securing Quick Dismissals of Frivolous Claims

We obtained an immediate dismissal of antitrust and RICO claims filed against our professional service client who had been named as a defendant in a multi-party case arising out of a contentious patent dispute between the plaintiff and lead defendant. Our client was named as a conspirator solely on the basis of consulting work it allegedly did for the lead defendant or its affiliates. We filed a motion to dismiss and sent a Rule 11 letter. Twenty-four hours later, the plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of all claims against our client but no other defendant.

Strategic Settlements

We were retained by a large corporation to assist in efforts to settle, through mediation, a complex antitrust and patent infringement litigation pending in North Carolina. Although the corporation had litigation counsel, we were separately retained to analyze settlement strategies and participate in a mediation between senior business executives. The matter was successfully resolved.
