Here for the first time is a comprehensive one-volume analysis that helps you to evaluate and successfully bring or defend a private antitrust suit. With Private Antitrust Actions you'll know exactly what it takes to determine if a party has standing to bring a civil antitrust suit, take advantage of (or overcome) available exemptions and immunities, and counsel any business on effective antitrust strategy. With detailed information on how the amount of the award is calculated, you'll be able to evaluate each case for potential recovery (or costs) and attorney's fees. And you'll also see how the federal courts are now interpreting and applying standards governing such matters as:
