The following Berger Montague lawyers were honored::

Outstanding Antitrust Litigation Achievement By A Young Lawyer

Henry, et al. v. Brown University, et al.: Hope Brinn

This case, which has resulted in $284 million in settlements to date, alleges that 17 elite universities colluded to artificially reduce financial aid and increase the net tuition prices paid by over 200,000 students. Hope Brinn, an Associate at Berger Montague, is a core member of the litigation team.

Outstanding Antitrust Litigation Achievement In Private Law Practice

Fusion Elite All Stars, et al. v. Varsity Brands, LLC, et al.: Eric Cramer, Joshua Davis, Michael Kane, and Mark Suter (now at the FTC)

Berger Montague served as  Co-Lead Class Counsel in this antitrust case, which resulted in a $43.5 million settlement against Varsity Brands. The Firm represented a class of All-Star Cheer Gyms and Spectators of All Star Cheer Events who alleged that Varsity Brands monopolized the market for All Star Cheer Events in the United States.

In Re Suboxone Antitrust Litigation: David Sorensen, Caitlin Coslett, Ellen Noteware, and Richard Schwartz

A $385 million settlement was reached in this case which alleged that Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals, Inc. engaged in a scheme to coerce the market to switch from Suboxone tablets to Suboxone film and delay less-expensive versions of Suboxone tablets to enter the market.  

Berger Montague has been recognized as one of the leading antitrust law firms in the country by multiple notable organizations and awards programs. In addition to being honored by the AAI, the Firm has also been named a Tier 1 antitrust law firm for the last 20 years by Chambers and Partners.
