About Us

FKB was founded in 1975 by Aaron Fine, Arthur Kaplan, and Allen Black. They created a small, collegial firm of outstanding lawyers whose intellects and litigation skills were second to none. Fifty years on, those founding principles endure.

Fine, Kaplan & Black has consistently been ranked as one of the premier antitrust practices in the country.

The Chambers USA Client Guide describes FKB as an “excellent boutique firm” composed of “erudite and capable attorneys.” Clients praise the firm’s “absolutely fantastic service” and “superb attorneys.”

FKB has represented both plaintiffs and defendants. In In re Urethane Antitrust Litigation, the firm represented the plaintiffs and won one of the largest price-fixing jury verdicts in U.S. history. In In re Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation, the firm is lead counsel for the plaintiffs in one of the largest antitrust litigations ever undertaken.

The firm also defended Southwest Airlines in In re Domestic Airline Travel Antitrust Litigation against allegations of a conspiracy to limit capacity, successfully negotiating Southwest’s early exit from the litigation.

TRACK RECORD

  • Record-breaking Antitrust Jury Verdict

    FKB was lead counsel for the plaintiffs in In re Urethane Antitrust Litigation, a price-fixing class action against chemical manufacturers. After a four-week trial, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs that resulted in a $1.06 billion judgment—one of the largest price-fixing verdicts ever. 

  • Leading the Nation's Largest Price-Fixing Case

    FKB is lead counsel in In re Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation, which alleges that dozens of manufacturers fixed prices for nearly 200 generic drugs. We’ve recovered more than $500 million for businesses and consumers who paid inflated prices, and we continue to aggressively prosecute these cases.

  • $1.5 Billion Settlement for Consumers

    FKB chaired the plaintiffs’ settlement committee in In re Philips Recalled CPAP, Bi-Level PAP, and Mechanical Ventilator Products Litigation, which involved defective foam in sleep-apnea machines and ventilators. The case settled for over $1.5 billion for the benefit of individuals who overpaid or were injured.

Our nationally recognized team brings integrity, efficiency, and relentless advocacy to every case.

From our home base in Philadelphia, we’ve secured some of the most significant antitrust victories in history.
