Practice Areas

David Cross is a partner in Goodwin’s Antitrust and Competition practice and a member of the firm’s Complex Litigation & Dispute Resolution practice. He is a leading, first-chair trial lawyer with extensive experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants in antitrust and complex business litigation, including intellectual property and general commercial matters. David has represented some of the world’s leading companies, including CSX Transportation, DuPont, Etsy, John Deere, Nexstar, Oracle, Sumitomo Electric, Teradata, and Uber.

David brings a winning combination of creativity and passionate advocacy to every matter, moving cases to successful conclusions expeditiously and cost-effectively. He represents clients in all aspects of antitrust and competition-related matters, including government investigations relating to monopolization or alleged price fixing, and nationwide bet-the-company class actions seeking tens of billions of dollars in damages. Clients frequently turn to David for counseling regarding compliance with domestic and international competition laws, including issues involving multisided markets, network effects, pricing algorithms and other AI tools, digital markets, and online marketplaces. In addition to a robust defense practice, David has established a destination practice for businesses confronting anticompetitive attacks from entrenched, dominant competitors.

David represents clients across a broad range of industries, including software, transportation, electronics, genetic testing, data analytics and storage, automotive parts, online services, property management, synthetic fiber, computer products, home appliances, and other consumer products. David’s zealous pursuit of his clients’ interests includes recovering millions of dollars in fees and costs from opposing parties for litigation misconduct.

David also maintains a strong pro bono practice focused on civil rights work. Notably, David obtained a 2019 injunction that shuttered Georgia’s antiquated all-electronic election system and enabled the critical hand recount of paper ballots in the 2020 presidential election. After successfully defeating summary judgement, David led a team representing non-partisan voters in a month-long bench trial seeking better security for future elections for Georgia’s current electronic voting system, which the team showed is vulnerable to hackers and other bad actors (including those falsely disputing the outcome of the 2020 presidential election). That trial has spurred important legislative efforts in Georgia to try to help shore up the security, transparency, and reliability of the state’s voting system.
