David recently led the defense of Sutter Health, a hospital system in Northern California, in an antitrust class action alleging that Sutter restrained competition by allegedly forcing insurers to include certain hospitals in their provider networks and forbidding them from steering patients to other hospitals. After a month-long trial, the jury returned a unanimous defense verdict and rejected plaintiffs’ claims for $1.2 billion in post-trebled damages. In addition, David led the defense of Marathon Petroleum in obtaining summary judgment in an antitrust class action in which plaintiffs alleged that Marathon and other major refiners conspired to reduce supply and thus inflate the price of gasoline and sought $72 billion in treble damages.
