Their Antitrust practice has approximately 75 lawyers and is ranked among the best litigation firms in the United States by the American Lawyer. They have successfully represented clients in major antitrust litigation throughout the country and have compiled a remarkable record of winning cases through summary disposition, at trial and on appeal. 

To support these practices and our clients, the firm have developed an extensive e-discovery counseling, document review and litigation support services function. In the last 18 months the firm has committed significant resources to these efforts, purchasing a “next generation” document review tool and developing a new firm methodology to improve the document review process.
