CRA has over 50 years of antitrust litigation experience. Since our work on the landmark US v. IBM case in the 1970s, we have worked on many of the most important government and private suits on record globally including Sprint/T-Mobile, Apple iPod iTunes Antitrust Litigation, US Airways/American Airlines, CVS/Aetna, UnitedHealth Group/Change Healthcare, TCL/Ericsson, and Oracle/Micron.
Published research by our senior consultants and experts has led to fundamental changes in how economists consider monopolization claims, vertical restraints, and mergers. Recent antitrust matters our experts have worked on involved alleged no-poach conspiracies, tying of products, foreclosure, price fixing, and most favored nation clauses (MFNs), across established and nascent industries.
CRA’s experts are well-versed in the rigors of the litigation process. Our experience and analytical rigor allow us to provide clients with credible, clear, and independent analysis for submission to regulatory and administrative agencies, and in legal proceedings before administrative bodies, courts, arbitrators, and tribunals around the world.
