Robinson-Patman Act Class Actions: Litigation Trends, Enforcement Risks, and Economic Perspectives

The Class Action & Private Litigation Committee of the New York State Bar Association’s Antitrust Section is hosting a virtual program on June 17 at 12 p.m. EST exploring the growing interest in Robinson-Patman Act (“RPA”) class actions amidst renewed FTC enforcement.  Our panel of experienced antitrust litigators and a leading economist will examine why RPA claims present significant challenges for class certification, the procedural and substantive hurdles both plaintiffs and defendants face, and the implications for private litigation from recent developments in FTC’s enforcement of the RPA.

The program will be moderated by Rosa M. Morales, Crowell & Moring LLP, featuring the following esteemed panelists: 

Wilson D. Mudge, Arnold & Porter

Mark Poe, Gaw | Poe LLP

Ted Tatos, EconOne

The session will cover recent cases, class certification battles, economic theories of injury, and strategic considerations for in-house counsel, manufacturers, and distributors navigating RPA exposure in both public enforcement and private actions.
