LCBF obtains early dismissal of antitrust claims against structured settlement company

In Isaac v. MLMIC et al., Index No. 2013-883, the Supreme Court, Erie County, granted a motion to dismiss filed by LCBF on behalf of a structured settlement company being sued for antitrust violations (the Donnelly Act) for allegedly conspiring with New York's largest medical malpractice insurer to exclude plaintiff settlement brokers from participation in brokering structured settlements. The court found that plaintiffs were alleging "wholly unilateral conduct" that would not sustain a Donnelly Act claim. Mark Landman headed the LCBF team that brought this matter to an early and successful resolution.
