Karen Dunn, Jeannie Rhee and Amy Mauser Recognized by The American Lawyer for Pretrial Win in Google Ad Tech Case

- June 14, 2024
Litigation partners Karen Dunn and Jeannie Rhee and counsel Amy Mauser were recognized in The American Lawyer’s “Litigation Daily” column for their major pretrial victory for Google in the government’s landmark civil antitrust case over the company’s alleged monopolization of advertising technology. The Eastern District of Virginia held that an unsolicited $2.3 million check Google cut to the government fully covered any claim for damages, mooting the jury demand and allowing the case to proceed as a bench trial in September.
In U.S. v. Google, the DOJ and 17 states allege that Google obtained and abuses a monopoly in digital ad tech. They seek to unwind decade-old Google acquisitions in the space, force Google to divest its Google Ad Manager suite, enjoin allegedly anticompetitive practices and impose financial penalties.
Litigation partners Bill Isaacson and Martha Goodman, and associates Zayn Siddique and Anita Liu were also named in the article for their work on the motion and the damages aspect of the case.
