Court Remarks in NASDAQ Market Makers Antitrust Litigation.
Fine, Kaplan and Black is a nationally recognized firm located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which devotes its practice entirely to complex litigation, with particular emphasis on antitrust, class action, appellate, and commercial litigation.
Fine, Kaplan and Black was founded in 1975 by Aaron Fine, Arthur Kaplan, and Allen Black in the hope of creating a small firm of outstanding lawyers whose litigation skills were second to none. The firm takes pride in its exceptional lawyers and staff. Our attorneys possess high academic credentials, maintain strong community ties, communicate effectively, and demonstrate the strictest personal and professional ethics. The collective skill of our team allows the firm to do better work, more efficiently. Our relentless focus is on getting results for our clients.
The 2006 and 2007 Chambers USA Client Guides rank Fine, Kaplan and Black as one of the premier antitrust practices, and the leading boutique practice, in Pennsylvania. According to the 2006 Guide, "while this litigation boutique traditionally specialized in plaintiff work, it has in recent years forged 'an interesting and enviable niche practice' that combines both plaintiff and defendant representation." The 2007 Guide reports that clients endorsed the firm as "incredibly intelligent and a real pleasure to work with."
The 2007 Chambers Guide lists partners Allen Black and Roberta Liebenberg as leading members of the antitrust bar, describing Mr. Black as a "vigorous advocate" of "high integrity," "deep experience," and a "leading reputation with the courts." Ms. Liebenberg is described as an "all around terrific lawyer" who "always impresses with her deep knowledge, experience, and vital understanding of the economic aspects of a case." The National Law Journal has named Ms. Liebenberg one of the "50 Most Influential Women Lawyers in America."
