Monopolization & Exclusionary Practices
We have examined the impact of monopolization and exclusionary practices in some of the largest cases of the past two decades, including cases involving Microsoft, MasterCard, Visa, and leading manufacturing and pharmaceutical companies. In addition to providing effective assessments of liability and antitrust damages within the context of industry-specific market dynamics, we have also analyzed the role of business strategy with respect to a range of competitive factors.
