Antitrust Matters

Antitrust cases — whether private class actions, government enforcement matters, or merger challenges — turn on complex economic analysis. Market definition, competitive effects, anticompetitive conduct, and damages all require experts with rigorous quantitative skills and the ability to defend their methodology under sustained challenge from opposing economists.

Intellex advisors work with plaintiff and defense counsel across the full range of antitrust matters, identifying Ph.D. economists and industry specialists whose academic backgrounds, consulting experience, and testimony history match the specific theory of the case. We ensure every candidate has the credentials and the communication skills to be effective in this demanding litigation environment.

Antitrust Cases We Support

Our expert witnesses have testified and consulted in matters including:

• Price-fixing and cartel conduct: Economists who model competitive but-for pricing and quantify overcharge damages across direct and indirect purchaser classes.
• Market definition: Industrial organization economists who define the relevant product and geographic market using established frameworks.
• Monopolization and monopoly maintenance: Experts who assess market power, barriers to entry, and the competitive effects of exclusionary conduct.
• Mergers and acquisitions: Economists and industry analysts who evaluate competitive effects, efficiencies, and post-merger market dynamics.
• Vertical restraints: Economists who analyze resale price maintenance, exclusive dealing, and tying arrangements under rule-of-reason frameworks.
