Antitrust Litigation

Shapiro Haber & Urmy LLP served as liaison counsel in In re Carbon Black Antitrust Litigation, which settled for $20 million after years of litigation. In addition, partner Charles Tompkins was a lead member of the trial team that litigated Pease, et al. v. Jasper Wyman & Son, et al., a price-fixing action in which the Plaintiffs, a class of Maine blueberry farmers, obtained a $54 million judgment following years of hard fought litigation and a two-week jury trial. This remains the largest judgment in Maine history. Mr. Tompkins also served as co-lead counsel in one of the largest antitrust cases ever litigated, In re Air Cargo Shipping Services Litigation., in which the Plaintiffs allege damages of over $1 billion, and In re Air Passenger Antitrust Litigation, which was successfully settled for nearly $200 million following complex litigation and mediation of antitrust claims brought under the laws of both the United States and the United Kingdom.
