Antitrust
We have an active antitrust practice. Our antitrust experience includes:- Jung v. Association of American College of Medicine
No. 02-0873 (D.C. Cir. 2005).We represent a nationwide class of medical residents who have sued their employers for setting salaries at below market wages. The district court agreed that the National Residency Match Program, which assigns residents to a specific hospital, violated the Sherman Act. Congress then amended the antitrust laws and sanctioned the Match Program. The district court did not allow plaintiffs to amend the complaint to press price fixing claims. The case is now pending on appeal before the D.C. Circuit.
- Hoffman-LaRoche, Ltd. v. Empagran
124 S. Ct. 2359 (2004)We filed an amicus brief in support of foreign victims of a cartel of vitamin producers. Our brief demonstrated that the exercise of American jurisdiction over such a controversy was fully consistent with the Department of Justice's historical position on this issue.
- Advisory practice
We have been retained to provide in-depth analysis of potential antitrust liability in a variety of contexts. These engagements have included full-scale briefing and argument before retired federal judges in assessing the strength of potential claims.
