Young Lawyers Breakfast

Law students and practitioners considering careers as plaintiffs’ antitrust attorneys are likely to have many questions. What does the work entail? What is most enjoyable about it? What is most challenging? What’s the best way to land the job? To succeed at it? Our panel of plaintiffs’ antitrust lawyers with varying levels of experience will discuss these issues, as well as mistakes they made, things they did right, and a host of related topics. Join us if you are thinking of starting a legal career or switching fields or sides, or if you want to reflect on your life as a plaintiffs’ antitrust attorney. This session will be recorded and released as a future Ruled by Reason podcast.

Panel 1 – Class Action Ethics: How Courts Adapt the Ethical Rules to Antitrust and Other Class Actions

Judges and lawyers are often surprised to learn that courts at times adapt the ethical rules in the class action context. After briefly setting forth a framework for why and how courts engage in that adaptation, the panel will discuss ethical issues that frequently arise in class litigation, what the relevant legal standards are, and practical ways to comply with them.

Panel 2 – Beneficial Coordination: When Public and Private Enforcers Collaborate

Public and private enforcers have a symbiotic relationship and play complementary roles in deterring and compensating the victims of antitrust violations. They also coordinate directly, formally or informally, on issues involving discovery, remedies, timing, notice, and much more. This panel will discuss key issues, challenges, and best practices in public and private enforcement coordination, exploring perspectives from the vantage points of the lawyers, the victims, and the defendants.

Panel 3 – Taking Antitrust Class Actions to Trial: New Developments and Strategies

Antitrust class action practice is going through a dynamic period.  This panel brings together veteran antitrust trial lawyers and an experienced antitrust econometrician, who will explore recent experiences with antitrust class action jury trials. The speakers will provide insights applicable not only to trial strategy, but also to what trials can teach us about litigating private antitrust cases more generally.

Panel 4 – Class Action Appeals: Best Practices for Plaintiffs in Appeals in Antitrust and Other Class Actions

Defendants rely on appellate specialists in class actions far more frequently than do plaintiffs. The panel will discuss how appellate advocacy is different from trial court advocacy, key strategic considerations on appeal, and factors trial lawyers should consider in deciding whether to retain appellate counsel as advocates or advisors. Plaintiffs’ lawyers should gain practical insights whether they choose to handle appeals on their own, bring in counsel to handle an appeal, or some combination of the two.
