Mayer Brown
With a strong foothold in the food and agriculture industries, Mayer Brown represents leading poultry, beef, and turkey companies in several high-profile class actions alleging anti-competitive behavior, including price-fixing claims. The group has recently seen increased activity in cases relating to algorithmic pricing and information exchange, particularly in the real estate and mobile home industries. Britt Miller, in Chicago, co-heads the firm’s global antitrust practice alongside Washington DC-based duo William Stallings and Gail Levine. Miller has extensive experience leading antitrust class action cases across a broad range of industries, while Stallings handles consumer protection and competition cases. Also in Chicago, Andrew Marovitz focuses his practice on cases concerning price fixing, market allocation, and conspiracy claims; Daniel Storino is another name to note in this area. Richard Snyder joined the DC office from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP in January 2023; Snyder is a key contact for litigated merger challenges and class actions in the financial services and publishing industries. Adam Hudes left the team in June 2023.
