Wilkinson Stekloff has quickly become the go-to firm for clients who want to litigate antitrust cases with an eye toward trial rather than settlement. We focus on developing a strategy for winning at trial to try to achieve positive results for our clients before trial.
We are one of the few firms in the country who has shown we can win antitrust cases in any setting—before judges or juries, against private plaintiffs or the government, and at every phase of litigation. We have won bet-the-company, multi-billion-dollar antitrust cases on motions to dismiss and at summary judgment. And we have taken some of the biggest antitrust cases in history to judgment and won, including successfully defending Microsoft's $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard in the second-largest merger trial in American history, and obtaining judgment as a matter of law for the NFL in a $21 billion case that sought to dismantle their highly successful media distribution model.
Wilkinson Stekloff has received recognition across the industry for our success, including Chambers and Partners ranking the firm in their “Nationwide Antitrust” category and four partners individually as “D.C. Antitrust Litigation Specialists,” Legal 500 ranking us in “Antitrust Civil Litigation Defense,” and both Global Competition Review and Benchmark Litigation awarding Matter of the Year to our work on the Microsoft/Activision deal.
