Corporations, trade associations, and individual clients frequently turn to McGuireWoods LLP for leadership in complex antitrust matters, including treble damages, indirect purchaser claims, and MDL class action litigation. The team has achieved trial success in cases involving price-fixing, monopolization, predatory pricing, and exclusive dealing. Amy Manning and Holden Brooks co-chair the practice from Chicago, with Manning recently leading the defense in a no-poach case before the Illinois Supreme Court. Richmond-based co-chair Brent Justus has represented clients in federal courts on matters involving horizontal and vertical conspiracies. Angelo Russo, also in Chicago, has delivered favorable outcomes both in court and by persuading authorities to close investigations without action.
