Antitrust

The economists of Nathan Associates’ antitrust litigation practice have long been at the forefront of antitrust cases in the United States, contributing testimony and consulting expertise in such seminal matters as In re Corrugated Container Antitrust Litigation, In re Domestic Airlines Antitrust Litigation, In re Industrial Diamonds Antitrust Litigation, and In re Linerboard Antitrust Litigation. We have also consulted on issues of class certification, liability, and damages in cases before U.S., Canadian, European, and Australian courts.

Our economists have demonstrated their antitrust and competition expertise in matters involving allegations of

• Antitrust counterclaims to patent infringement allegations
• Bid rigging
• Monopolization or attempted monopolization
• Predatory conduct
• Price discrimination
• Tying or bundling
• Vertical restraints and horizontal price fixing
• Other horizontal and vertical restraints of trade.

In antitrust and competition matters, our economists routinely assess market power, estimate damages, define relevant markets, and evaluate economic evidence of impact and liability. Our antitrust experience encompasses a variety of industries, including

• Agricultural products
• Basic and industrial chemicals
• Computer hardware and software
• Construction materials
