Antitrust in a Word - Antitrust laws are critical to a robust economy. They are designed to promote fair and competitive markets, protect innovation, and provide safeguards against price fixing and other unfair business practices. Over the next few weeks, we will unpack key antitrust terms and how to identify anticompetitive behavior. We will highlight a case that best reflects the term and how we’re helping workers, consumers, and small business achieve justice for the common good. This week’s term is Wage Suppression. The case is Jien, et al. v. Perdue Farms, Inc., et al. Read more here --> https://bit.ly/3UcFazs #antitrust #wagesuppression Note: Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

“Independent pharmacies have played a critical role in patients’ healthcare and our communities. Over the years, #PBMs have squeezed out many of these important businesses leaving behind what some are calling pharmacy deserts. With Amazon’s introduction of its same-day pharmacy delivery services in cities that will likely expand into less densely populated areas, the situation may only become more dire for independent pharmacies trying stay in business,” said Christina Saler, a partner at Cohen Milstein and special counsel to state attorneys general in their respective PBM investigations and litigation. “I’m encouraged to see the #FTC file suit against the three largest PBMs – Caremark Rx, Express Scripts (ESI) and OptumRx. I am hopeful that this federal effort in addition to state attorneys general efforts will stop PBMs from driving up the cost of drugs for consumers and harming our local, independent pharmacies.” #healthcare #stateAG https://bit.ly/3YcZAts

We are honored to represent Housing Rights Initiative against real estate agents, brokerage firms, and California landlords for alleged voucher discrimination throughout the state of California. “Housing affordability is a national crisis, especially in California, where too many people pay an excessive proportion of their income for rent and are at risk of homelessness. Housing #vouchers are one of the most successful methods for addressing this problem. But too often, discrimination against voucher holders only exacerbates the homelessness crisis, especially voucher holders who are African American and Latino0, the elderly, or who have disabilities,” said Brian Corman, partner at Cohen Milstein, who helps lead the firm’s Fair Housing litigation efforts. “This lawsuit should send a clear message to landlords, real estate agents, and brokers that housing discrimination will not be tolerated. It’s against the law. Period.” We are also proud to partner with Inner City Law Center and Handley Farah & Anderson PLLC on this dispute. #FHA #housing #discrimination
