Overview:

Antitrust litigation in the life sciences sector has continued to grow and evolve, with a rapid mix of innovate theories and impactful court decisions over the past few years.  Pharmaceutical companies must constantly consider the changing landscape as they pursue their business strategies to avoid legal pitfalls, and attorneys must stay up-to-date on decisions and strategies that are shaping the next generation of litigation.

  • Recent Pharmaceutical Antitrust Cases: An Overview
