Antitrust
Taus, Cebulash & Landau, LLP is and has been involved in over a dozen antitrust class actions in which we represent purchasers of pharmaceutical products. The firm and its members have been appointed to Executive Committees in multiple pharmaceutical antitrust cases In these actions, we allege that brand name drug companies engaged in anticompetitive conduct in order to delay or prevent competition from manufacturers of less expensive generic versions of brand name drugs. Such conduct inflates the cost of prescription drugs for direct purchasers and consumers. We have helped aggrieved purchasers recover hundreds of millions of dollars in overcharges they have incurred by paying inflated prices as a result of such illegal conduct.
We have also been at the forefront of antitrust enforcement, actively involved in the prosecution of antitrust actions in markets including auto parts, cable television services, truck stop services, contact lenses and food supplies.
