John Terzaken, Global Co-Chair of the Firm’s Antitrust and Trade Regulation Practice, was quoted in a Global Competition Review article titled, “Jindal gives first look into jury views on labour market cases,” which explored a recent trial in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas related to wage-fixing in the physical therapy staffing industry. John noted that as, more labor market cases roll out, the verdicts reached are not likely to change the DOJ’s view on the criminality of wage-fixing or no-poach agreements, but they are “certainly going to shape their view” on the types of facts and evidence they are going to look to develop in future cases. He additionally explained how “juries are more likely to convict where there is clear harm that resulted from the conduct.”
