Successful defense of a monopolization summary judgement on behalf of a major healthcare system

Dr. Smith led a team of economists to support the lead economic expert in a healthcare company's appeal of monopolization claims leveled against it by a competitor. The expert used the results of a series of analyses to demonstrate that the healthcare company's negotiations with commercial insurers over prices and provider network designs were competitive, and that the complaining competitor had not been hampered in its ability to compete. The appeals court agreed, and affirmed a prior judgement in the client's favor.
