Philip Van Der Weele is a seasoned antitrust and commercial litigator, chairing many high stakes monopolization/attempt cases, price fixing cases, and contested merger cases. Philip’s background in economics, accounting, and mathematics uniquely enables him to work substantively and efficiently with both experts and client representatives on issues such as market definition, barriers to entry, competitive effects, and financial models.

In addition to litigating antitrust cases, Philip also regularly counsels clients, many with annual sales over $1 billion, on a wide range of antitrust matters across a wide array of industries. These matters include mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures; collaborations between competitors; the interface between intellectual property and antitrust law; tie-ins; parts and services aftermarkets; vertical restraints and resale pricing policies; dealer terminations and other refusals to deal; Robinson-Patman compliance; non-compete agreements; conduct at trade association meetings; and civil and criminal state and federal antitrust investigations.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"Philip is top of his field, a great litigator. He provides excellent quality."

MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY

"In the context of antitrust counseling, most questions come to me from the client’s legal department, but I try to give answers as if I’m speaking to the business people who are going to be impacted by my advice. Although the law certainly informs that advice, the advice itself is very fact specific and often iterative, as we work together to find the lowest risk pathway to achieve a given business objective."
