TRADE ASSOCIATIONS AND MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATIONS ANTITRUST

Our attorneys have advised major trade associations for various industries and professionals on the associations’ standards and policies and provided monitoring on the association level. For example, we serve as outside antitrust counsel for a national trade association in the pharmaceutical industry, and we have successfully defended a national trade association against a $400 million Sherman Act Section 1 conspiracy claim. We also have advised standard-setting organizations on the development and implementation of standards. We also provide clients with individual advice regarding participation in trade association activities, particularly as to surveys, best practices, and other information exchanges as well as guidance for attendance at organization meetings. We have represented clients in Sherman Act claims alleged to have arisen from our clients’ participation in trade associations.
