Supporting Direct Purchaser Litigation: Stratejic Relationships in Antitrust and Competition Cases

 Supporting Direct Purchaser Litigation: Stratejic Relationships in Antitrust and Competition Cases
Direct Purchaser

September 25, 2024

Introduction to the Topic:
Direct purchaser litigation typically involves businesses that have bought products directly from manufacturers and are now seeking to hold those manufacturers accountable for price-fixing, monopolistic behavior, or other anti-competitive practices. These cases often occur in industries where manufacturers use their market power to inflate prices unfairly, harming direct purchasers and distorting competition.

Stratejic Relationships’ Expertise:
Stratejic Relationships assists attorneys in direct purchaser litigation by identifying and connecting them with witnesses who can testify about anti-competitive practices within the industry. These witnesses, often former employees or industry insiders, offer crucial evidence of illegal price-fixing schemes or monopolistic tactics that harm purchasers and the competitive market.

Challenges in Direct Purchaser Litigation:
Proving anti-competitive behavior in direct purchaser cases often requires extensive insider knowledge about pricing structures, sales tactics, and market manipulation. Obtaining this evidence can be challenging without testimony from individuals who have firsthand knowledge of these practices.

What We Fight to Achieve:

  • Financial compensation for direct purchasers, ensuring that they are reimbursed for overcharges caused by price-fixing or monopolistic practices.
  • Restoration of competitive market conditions, promoting fair pricing and transparent business practices.
  • Punitive damages, holding corporations accountable for their anti-competitive behavior.
  • Changes to business practices, ensuring that manufacturers comply with antitrust laws moving forward.

Testimonial:
"Stratejic Relationships was instrumental in helping us find witnesses with insider knowledge of illegal price-fixing practices. Their contribution made a significant impact on the case." – John W. Barrett, Bailey Glasser LLP

Stratejic Relationships’ ability to identify critical witnesses and uncover essential evidence in direct purchaser litigation helps attorneys build strong cases against corporations engaging in anti-competitive behavior. Their expertise ensures that direct purchasers can seek justice and receive fair compensation for the harm they’ve suffered.
