Richard Wolfram is an independent U.S. lawyer based in New York City.  His practice, launched in 2005, focuses on antitrust counseling and litigation on behalf of corporations, professional organizations and public advocacy entities.        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing on his 36 years of experience in antitrust and 39 years in commercial litigation<\/a>, Mr. Wolfram focuses on helping each client achieve its objectives through effective, cost-efficient counseling and\/or litigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The constructive use of antitrust to achieve\nthese ends often requires ‘problem solving’ — taking apart a client’s\nconcrete issues, identifying the antitrust component and using this legal\ntool to the client’s advantage, whether as a plaintiff, defendant, amicus <\/em>(friend\nof the court) or interested observer (e.g., consulting on behalf of investors\nregarding mergers and other civil litigation matters).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology and business practices\ncontinue to undergo rapid transformation.  To address today’s\neconomic and commercial realities, the effective advocate can use the law\ncreatively, when necessary,  to persuade courts and other enforcers to\nembrace somewhat novel applications<\/a> of established principles, provided he or she\nrespects the fundamentals and thoroughly marshals the supporting\nfacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Wolfram’s representations have\nconsistently involved cutting-edge issues in high-profile matters.  Recent\nexamples include an exclusive dealing\/tying\/monopolization suit in healthcare\nwhich has elicited a rare Statement of Interest by the Department of Justice\nsupporting legal arguments by the plaintiff-client; successfully negotiated\nclaims by a major European vehicle manufacturer against shipping carriers in\nthe worldwide ‘Roll-On-Roll-Off’ cartel investigation, involving\nfirst-impression substantive and procedural issues at the interface of federal\nand state antitrust law and the federal Shipping Act; a concerted refusal to\ndeal case (in which the Supreme Court denied certiorari)<\/em> raising\nunresolved questions among the circuit courts over the widespread but often\nmisapplied Matsushita<\/em> standard for surviving summary judgment\nin antitrust cases; and an amicus brief in the LIBOR litigation on behalf of\neconomists and antitrust professors explaining why, contrary to the district\ncourt, plaintiffs satisfied the antitrust injury requirement, contributing to\nreversal by the Second Circuit and subsequent substantial settlements and also\nclass certification for OTC plaintiffs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to his solo representation of\nclients, Mr. Wolfram sometimes teams up with other antitrust  lawyers and\nis also called upon by firms seeking antitrust expertise for their\nclients.  Responsiveness and depth of experience and expertise are highly\nvalued by clients, across a range of antitrust issues, and a lean practice\nmodel with flexibility for collaboration helps address these needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 — These are some of the key components\nof Mr. Wolfram’s antitrust ‘toolbox’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antitrust addresses both single-firm and\njoint conduct.  Across these categories, Mr Wolfram advises and\nlitigates on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
