Direct Purchaser Claims: Strengthening Legal Strategies with Stratejic Relationships
Direct Purchaser

December 4, 2024

Direct purchaser claims are a cornerstone of antitrust litigation, designed to protect businesses and consumers from unfair market practices such as price-fixing and monopolistic behavior. These claims often involve complex legal and economic issues, requiring a meticulous approach to gather evidence and build a strong case. Stratejic Relationships, under the leadership of Paul Littrell, Jr., specializes in supporting trial lawyers in these high-stakes cases by uncovering critical evidence and connecting them with key witnesses.

With nearly two decades of experience, Stratejic Relationships is a trusted partner for trial lawyers navigating direct purchaser claims. The firm’s ability to uncover hidden details and foster impactful relationships makes it an invaluable resource for achieving justice and fair compensation in antitrust cases.

What Are Direct Purchaser Claims?

Direct purchaser claims arise when businesses or consumers are harmed by anticompetitive practices, such as price-fixing, market allocation, or monopolization. Under federal and state antitrust laws, direct purchasers—those who buy products or services directly from a manufacturer or supplier—have the right to seek compensation for overcharges resulting from these practices.

Common Scenarios Leading to Direct Purchaser Claims:

  • Price-Fixing Cartels: Agreements between competitors to artificially inflate prices.
  • Market Allocation: Dividing markets among competitors to limit competition.
  • Monopolistic Practices: Abuse of market dominance to restrict competition and raise prices.

Proving these claims requires substantial evidence, including communications, transaction records, and testimonies from knowledgeable witnesses. Stratejic Relationships excels in uncovering these crucial elements, helping trial lawyers build compelling cases.
