Description
In addition, Cohen Milstein is an innovator in new areas of the law. The firm was in the forefront of filing antitrust claims on behalf of indirect purchasers in 1993 and 1994, when it filed state-court actions in 18 states on behalf of indirect purchasers of infant formula. This was the first effort to systematically and simultaneously pursue treble damages claims on behalf of indirect-purchasing consumers in all states where antitrust laws permitted such claims. This approach, and variations of it, have since become the accepted model for pursuing antitrust damages on behalf of indirect-purchasing consumers.
Cohen Milstein has been in the forefront of the development of international antitrust theory and litigation of claims. As the global economy has produced worldwide conglomerates, so, too, has the nature of antitrust violations changed. For example, in Kruman v. Christie's International PLC, et al. Docket No. 017309 and In re Bulk Vitamins Antitrust Litigation, MDL 1285 (D.D.C.), both the parties and the anticompetitive actions were played out on a world, rather than domestic, stage. The firm also represents and won Lead Plaintiff status for domestic and foreign investors in a foreign company's bonds, in a PSLRA litigation being pursued in the United States, In re Parmalat Securities Litigation, Master Docket 04 Civ 0030 (LAK) (S.D.N.Y.). The Firm has affiliated offices around the world, in the United Kingdom, Italy, South Africa, Panama and Australia.
Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld & Toll, P.L.L.C. was established in March 1986 and is based in Washington, D.C. with offices in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco and London. From 1969 until 1986, the firm was the Washington, D.C. office of the Philadelphia law firm currently known as Kohn, Swift & Graf, P.C..
Cohen Milstein has also served as lead or co-lead counsel, or on Plaintiffs' Executive Committee(s), in many dozens of antitrust, securities, consumer protection or product liability, civil rights, and human rights class action cases.
