United States > Antitrust > Civil litigation/class actions: defense
The ‘very diligent, knowledgeable, attentive, and easily accessible’ antitrust team at DLA Piper LLP (US) represents individual executives, insurance companies, and healthcare sector players in the full range of class actions and civil antitrust litigation. John Hamill now heads the practice from the Chicago office and excels in representing clients across the full spectrum of commercial litigation, including antitrust issues and unfair competition matters. The ‘outstanding and efficient’ David Hamilton joined the firm’s Baltimore office from Womble Bond Dickinson in February 2023; Hamilton has a broad practice spanning monopolization, price-fixing, and cartel litigation. Brian Boyle, in Philadelphia, represents corporate clients as plaintiffs and defendants in cartel, merger, and pricing conduct antitrust mandates, while Washington DC-based litigator David Bamberger is a key contact for class actions. The growing team saw its East Coast offering further expanded with the January 2024 arrivals of former FTC attorney Amanda Wait, investigations expert Vic Domen, and former federal prosecutor Carsten Reichel from Norton Rose Fulbright; all are based in Washington DC. Lisa Tenorio-Kutzkey left the firm in January 2024.
