Print BioDavid Suggs is a member of the firm’s Litigation practice, with a primary focus on antitrust matters. He has spent more than 20 years litigating complex antitrust disputes, including class-action cartel claims, monopolization suits, and criminal and civil government investigations. His practice also encompasses white collar, bankruptcy, and other high-stakes commercial litigation.
In addition to his litigation work, David advises clients on antitrust risk and compliance, including issues arising from contracts, joint ventures, and strategic transactions. He has represented some of the world’s largest companies in significant, cross-border matters and has experience across a broad range of industries, with particular depth in the energy and pharmaceutical sectors.
An accomplished trial lawyer, David has tried cases before both juries and judges and has secured significant pretrial victories. He argued and won a major summary judgment motion in a case with estimated damages exceeding $1.8 billion. In a putative antitrust class action, his client was the only one of seven defendants to obtain dismissal on summary judgment. He also achieved a rare early dismissal of cartel claims in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, removing his client from the case before any discovery occurred.
