Antitrust litigation in the healthcare industry requires attorneys who understand both the economics and the law. We handle both.
The American healthcare industry operates under intense competitive pressures—from hospital consolidation and insurance network negotiations to pharmaceutical pricing and physician group dynamics. When competition breaks down, the consequences are measured in billions of dollars and, ultimately, in patient outcomes. Antitrust enforcement in healthcare is aggressive, complex, and unforgiving.
Preminger PLLC represents healthcare providers, hospital systems, and companies in antitrust litigation arising from competitive conduct in the healthcare sector. Dov Preminger developed his antitrust practice handling major healthcare antitrust cases, including landmark settlements and complex multi-party litigation. He brings a practitioner's understanding of antitrust economics, market definition, and competitive effects analysis to every case.
Our healthcare antitrust practice covers the full range of federal and state antitrust claims arising in the healthcare industry:
Antitrust cases are won and lost on economics. Market definition, competitive effects, barriers to entry, and the measurement of market power are not legal abstractions—they are the substance of every antitrust case. A hospital system's 60% market share in a properly defined geographic market tells a different story than the same system's 15% share in an improperly broadened market. Getting the economics right is the difference between winning and losing.
Preminger PLLC works closely with economists and industry experts to develop the economic evidence that drives antitrust litigation. We understand the healthcare-specific factors that affect market definition—patient travel patterns, payer networks, referral relationships, certificate-of-need regulations, and the unique competitive dynamics of healthcare markets. That understanding allows us to challenge opposing expert opinions effectively and present compelling economic narratives to judges and juries.
Defended a major hospital system against antitrust claims alleging monopolization of healthcare services in a regional market. The case involved extensive economic expert discovery, complex market definition disputes, and challenges to the plaintiff's theory of anticompetitive harm. Achieved a favorable outcome for the client through aggressive motion practice and targeted discovery.
Served as counsel in a significant antitrust action that resulted in a landmark settlement. The case involved claims of anticompetitive conduct in the healthcare services market and required detailed analysis of competitive dynamics, pricing practices, and market structure. The resolution set an important precedent for the treatment of similar claims in the industry.
Healthcare antitrust litigation sits at the intersection of three demanding disciplines: antitrust law, healthcare regulation, and applied economics. General commercial litigators often lack the economic sophistication to handle complex market definition and competitive effects arguments. Healthcare regulatory attorneys may not have trial experience. Antitrust specialists at large firms may not offer the personal attention and cost efficiency that healthcare clients need.
Preminger PLLC brings all three disciplines together in a single practice. Dov Preminger has handled major healthcare antitrust matters, tried over 12 cases to verdict or award, and completed a federal judicial clerkship that provided deep exposure to complex civil litigation. Combined with AI-powered document analysis and research capabilities, the firm delivers antitrust representation that matches any large firm in quality while providing the strategic focus, personal attention, and cost efficiency that larger firms cannot offer.
