Private Enforcement of Antitrust Law in the United States is a comprehensive Handbook, providing a detailed, step-by-step examination of the private enforcement process, as illuminated by many of the country’s leading practitioners, experts, and scholars.
Written primarily from the viewpoint of the complainant, the Handbook goes well beyond a detailed cataloguing of the substantive and procedural considerations associated with individual and class action antitrust lawsuits by private individuals and businesses. It is a collection of thoughtful essays that delves deeply into practical and strategic considerations attending the decision-making of private practitioners.
This eminently readable and authoritative Handbook will prove to be an invaluable resource for anyone associated with the antitrust enterprise, including both inexperienced and seasoned practitioners, law professors and students, testifying and consulting economists, and government officials involved in overlapping public/private actions and remedies.

Critical Acclaim
‘The Handbook is one of the most practical and strategic looks at the formulation and conduct of private treble litigation available. It is practically unique in going beyond the substance of the antitrust law and giving the reader a peek behind the curtain as to how private antitrust litigation actually functions. It will prove to be of great value to students and practitioners, both inside and outside the United States, who want to understand what really occurs in and outside the courtroom.’
