Summary
The primary source is a practice-area listing for Edward B. Schwartz, described as a senior antitrust advocate and trial lawyer who provides representation in court and before antitrust agencies. The page enumerates a series of representative matters rather than a single current development.
Recent or ongoing engagements named include representation of digital platform company Match in litigation with the Federal Trade Commission arising out of a data breach investigation, and representation of the BBC in an antitrust case pending in the D.C. District Court alleging a conspiracy among the client, The Washington Post, AP, Reuters, and various digital platforms to boycott anti-vaccine and other Covid-related media content.
Other listed matters include defense of Western Union against an FTC civil investigative demand, where the District Court partially quashed the CID and the Second Circuit remanded one issue; representation of options exchange MIAX in Sherman Act Section 2 claims against NASDAQ; and work for Amadeus in a class action over alleged airline contract terms, Gordon v. Amadeus IT SA. The profile also lists generic drug maker Avet in the In re Generic Pharmaceuticals Antitrust Pricing Litigation, Cathay Pacific in air cargo and passenger fuel-surcharge price-fixing class actions, and Barrick Gold in a class action alleging a conspiracy with J.P. Morgan over gold futures pricing.
Historical matters for Republic Services, Rockwell Collins, Caterpillar, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana, Sandoz, and a Korean food manufacturer are also described, with outcomes ranging from dismissals and summary judgments to settlements and verdicts. Several dates in the source, including a July 2018 verdict, pre-date the 2026 story date and should be read as historical record.
The publisher context returns several unrelated individuals named Edward Schwartz, including a physician researcher, a consultant, and an obituary subject, none of whom are connected to the antitrust practice described here.
