Tell us about your top U.S. Supreme Court or federal appeals court victory over the past year and how you and your team achieved the win.
Our U.S. Supreme Court win for American Express in Ohio v. American Express vindicated AmEx’s business model and ended one of the most significant antitrust enforcement actions in recent years. We handled the matter for over a decade—leading AmEx through the initial DOJ investigation, a six-week trial, and a unanimous Second Circuit reversal of the lower court’s adverse ruling. The Supreme Court victory affirmed our efforts and established the fundamental importance of examining both sides in a two-sided market. The win is a testament to our incredible team, many of whom worked on the case from day one; our deep understanding of AmEx’s business, history and objectives; and a client who was willing to go the distance with us to protect its business.
