From Chambers & Partners 2007 Edition:

     "The Firm: Many interviewees singled out this 28-attorney practice as 'the top choice for plaintiff antitrust representation, particularly in complex class actions.' The firm is well versed in representing manufacturers, financial services and pharmaceutical companies facing allegations of anticompetitive behavior. Recent highlights include obtaining a $336 million settlement on behalf of cardholders in currency conversion fee antitrust litigation against defendants including Visa, MasterCard, Citibank and Diners Club.

     "The Lawyers: 'Extremely distinguished' Laddie Montague was singled out as the 'dean of the plaintiff’s antitrust Bar.'  Interviewees applauded him as a 'savvy, trustworthy and reliable gentleman who knows how to lead his team well.'  Market sources praised his deep experience in antitrust law, with highlights including acting as one of two co-lead counsel for purchasers of microcrystalline cellulose from FMC.  The case was settled on the eve of trial for $50 million.  'Incredibly hard-working' Eric Cramer is 'adept at interpreting and appreciating the economic factors of a case,' according to peers, who highlighted his expertise in the pharmaceuticals and medical devices industries.  He has recently been representing plaintiff wholesalers and pharmacies in antitrust litigation against Abbott Laboratories and Fournier, alleging that the defendants entered into an anticompetitive scheme in relation to the sale of the cholesterol treatment Tricor.  Interviewees highlighted Merrill Davidoff as a 'giant in the field.'  His recent workload has included leading the team representing cardholders in currency conversion litigation."
