Our antitrust practice is global in scope, and we have successfully defended leading national and international corporations in significant private class action litigation in a wide range of industries, including the energy, electronics, technology, agriculture, insurance, and manufacturing sectors.

About Eimer Stahl LLP

When we formed Eimer Stahl in 2000, we set out to create a different kind of litigation firm—one that would deliver outstanding results for clients, but take a more personal, creative approach to getting there.  And that’s what we’ve done.

Today, our firm has a solid track record of resolving the most complicated cases intelligently and efficiently. Our clients trust us to handle their most challenging legal problems—antitrust cases, class actions, multidistrict environmental and product liability litigation, energy regulatory proceedings, securities litigation, and other high-stakes commercial disputes.

We’re compact, focused, and agile. Yet we have a national litigation presence, with the capacity to resolve the largest, most complex legal matters. We leverage technology to serve our clients with the responsiveness of a small firm and the capabilities of a large one.  Our leading-edge e-discovery platform reduces discovery costs and timelines while improving the accuracy, consistency, and automation of the discovery process.
