In the ongoing tussle between Philadelphia personal injury firms Larry Pitt & Associates and Lundy Law, the former has responded to the latter’s motion to dismiss, arguing that the question of whether Lundy Law principal L. Leonard Lundy has monopolized a key advertising market for small plaintiffs firms is one that cannot be decided until discovery is completed.

The two firms have been in litigation for months, largely over Pitt’s allegations that Lundy has monopolized the market for advertising on the exteriors of city buses by entering into exclusive contracts with the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, aided by his daughter, an account executive at Titan, the advertising company that has the exclusive rights to sell advertisements on behalf of SEPTA.
