Antitrust

Factors that impact how businesses compete are often difficult to assess. Questions arise on how prices are affected but for the activities of another firm. Claims arise regarding restraint of trade and the loss suffered because of market manipulations. We help by quantifying whether a loss occurred or if there was a downturn in business that can be attributed to the activities of another firm or group of firms. We examine the variability of pricing in markets, the impact of economic factors and events on pricing, and evaluate "as of" prices - prices evaluated with information known "as of" a given date. We combine economic theory with fact to examine how the market is operating and whether a loss exists or can be measured.





Case Examples:

Executech v. Appleton Papers, 1998. Deposed, testified as an expert witness at a class certification hearing. Class denied. Issue was whether Appleton Papers colluded with other manufacturers in the pricing of thermal fax paper products. Appleton had already won an antitrust case in Federal court on same issue. Conducted survey of pricing of product throughout Florida and proved that pricing of product was so discretionary at retail level that it was impossible to consider whether producer pricing had claimed impact at retail level. Case cited by Third District Court in Florida when tobacco class ruling in Florida was overturned on appeal.
