Antitrust law has been unusually busy in recent years, with several high-profile cases, including in Big Tech. Steve Berman, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of plaintiff-side firm Hagens Berman Sobol and Shapiro LLP, joins Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Justin Teresi for a discussion of antitrust developments and trends, as seen from the plaintiffs’ bar. Topics include Berman’s recent litigation around the growth of artificial intelligence-based pricing algorithms in setting hotel rates, as well as work on alleged collusion in agriculture. Berman and Teresi also discuss how plaintiffs’ firms — and private aggregate litigation, like class actions — are working alongside government enforcement efforts.
