Case history
Publicly tracked matters where this attorney is listed as counsel.
AMEX Antitrust Settlement
American Express had rules in its merchant agreements that prohibited merchants from encouraging customers to pay with a different card that charged lower fees. Plaintiffs alleged these anti-steering rules caused merchants to raise prices to cover Amex fees, resulting in all customers—including those not using Amex cards—paying more. American Express denies wrongdoing.
