Exposing Price Fixing and Anticompetitive Practices with Insider Witnesses

Exposing Price Fixing and Anticompetitive Practices with Insider Witnesses
Price-Fixing Antitrust Litigation

August 13, 2025

Antitrust and price fixing cases are some of the most complex and resource intensive lawsuits in the legal world. Proving that companies colluded to manipulate markets or set prices requires more than economic analysis and public records. It demands credible testimony from insiders who saw the agreements being made, attended the meetings, and understand how the scheme was executed. Stratejic Relationships finds those insiders and connects them with trial lawyers to strengthen their cases.

Why Insider Witnesses Are Critical in Antitrust Litigation

Price fixing and other anticompetitive practices often occur behind closed doors and leave few obvious paper trails. Insiders — former executives, sales managers, or operations staff — can describe exactly how the agreements were structured, who was involved, and how the illegal conduct impacted pricing and market access.

Their testimony can:

  • Corroborate documentary evidence
  • Provide timelines and context for economic patterns
  • Identify additional participants in the scheme
  • Demonstrate intent to violate competition laws

Industries Impacted by Price Fixing

  • Manufacturing and Consumer Goods — From raw materials to packaged products, price fixing can occur at multiple points in the supply chain.
  • Technology and Electronics — Component pricing, licensing agreements, and distribution deals can be manipulated to limit competition.
  • Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices — Coordinated pricing on drugs or equipment can drive up healthcare costs and limit patient access.
  • Logistics and International Trade — Shipping rates, freight charges, and customs processes can be subject to cartel agreements.

Conferring with the Whistleblower provided to me by Stratejic just prior to an important series of depositions provided me with invaluable insights into how my Defendant secretly conducted their business.
