‘Goodwin's team is unique because it is led by David Cross. David is one of the absolute top antitrust and trial lawyers in the country. He is capable of turning a nothing case into a big victory (on the plaintiff side) or a big case into a nothing case (on the defense side). I have worked with and against David, over many years, in many courthouses, and have tremendous respect for this abilities.’
