Antitrust / Competition

Not only relied on by business clients, federal courts also have specifically appointed and trusted Hausfeld to pursue recoveries in more than 30 antitrust damage actions in the last ten years.

In 2024, for a sixth consecutive year, Hausfeld has been recognized as one of the leading claimant firms for recovery in antitrust litigation in the US. In the 2023 Antitrust Annual Report, published by the Center for Litigation and Courts | UC Law SF and The Huntington National Bank, Hausfeld has been recognized as a top firm, having recovered 129 settlements totaling over $8.4 billion between 2009-2023. The 2023 Antitrust Annual Report provides an overview of antitrust class actions litigated in US federal court from 2009 through 2023. It addresses various topics, including the number of antitrust class action complaints filed each year, the amount of time on average to reach a settlement, the mean and median recoveries, attorneys' fees and costs awarded, the total settlement amounts in each year and overall, the law firms that represented plaintiffs and defendants in antitrust class action settlements, and the cumulative totals for claims administrators involved in the settlement process.

Recognizing the firm's antitrust prowess, the Global Competition Review notes that 'The Hausfeld team has established themselves as one of – if not the – top Plaintiffs' antitrust firm in the U.S.' and Legal 500 consistently ranks Hausfeld among the top 5 firms in the United States for plaintiff representation in antitrust litigation.
