Jay Hulme and Matthew Wright Featured in Law360 Discussing Recent Discovery Ruling in Ongoing Antitrust Matter

Mr. Hulme stated, “We believe that when those [lost-profit] calculations are exposed to the light that it will be evident that the plaintiffs — which were found to have sold ferrosilicon at less than cost — suffered no damage from the temporary imposition of customs duties, all of which were refunded.”
