Dagher. In Dagher, the High Court unanimously held that a lawfully created joint venture’s unitary price setting policy did not constitute a per se violation of antitrust laws. Mr. Sanderson was quoted as saying that the Dagher decision signal that the Supreme Court is becoming “more understanding to arguments that joint ventures are pro-competitive.”

His practice focuses on several litigation areas including commercial litigation and antirust law.
