LGN Team Appointed to Leadership in Two National Antitrust Litigations

The LGN team led by Heidi Silton has been named to leadership positions in two national antitrust litigations. Working with Heidi on both cases are Jessica N. Servais and Joe Bourne. Their combined contributions achieved leadership appointments that underscore the dedication and diligent work LGN’s antitrust team continually exhibits. You can read more about each of these cases below.

The LGN team was named interim Co-Lead Counsel for the indirect purchaser plaintiffs in the Concrete and Cement Additives Antitrust Litigation in the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs allege that the world’s largest manufacturers of concrete and cement additives conspired to fix prices, causing them to pay too much for the defendants’ concrete and cement additives. International government enforcers, including the U.S. Department of Justice and the European Commission, are also investigating the industry.

In addition, Heidi was named to the interim Direct Purchaser Plaintiff Steering Committee in the Passenger Vehicle Replacement Tires Antitrust Litigation in the Northern District of Ohio, a case in which Jessica and Joe are both actively involved. The plaintiffs allege that the world’s largest tire manufacturers conspired to fix the prices of replacement tires for passenger vehicles. International government enforcers, including the European Commission, are also investigating the industry.
