Antitrust

Our partners Edward Han and Martin Cunniff bring over twenty years of experience from the world’s top-ranked antitrust practice. We are at the forefront of cases promoting fair competition in the market.  

Our team has extensive experience with antitrust opt-out actions. Founding partner Richard Fields, a litigation funder, has invested $100 million in antitrust cases that led to over $1 billion in settlements.  

For purchasers affected by price-fixing or other antitrust violations, remaining an unnamed class member in class action litigation may not always be the best way to recover losses. At Fields Han Cunniff, we specialize in “opt-out” or “direct action” litigation, where purchasers choose to pursue their claims independently from the class action. 

Opting out often offers advantages: plaintiffs gain greater control over their cases and can frequently recover more than they might as class members. While class action counsel focus on broad damage models that serve the class as a whole, we tailor our strategies to maximize recovery for each client, calculating and proving damages specifically for them.
