Bates White client reaches settlement in antitrust counterclaim suit
Mathis Wagner was retained as testifying expert on behalf of Associates in Nephrology (AIN) in DaVita Inc. v. Associates in Nephrology in a breach of contract case. AIN filed a counterclaim against DaVita, claiming that their original agreement was anticompetitive. Dr. Wagner analyzed issues of market definition, market power, theory of harm, and competitive effects of the noncompete and non-solicitation clauses in employment agreements between the parties. The parties settled shortly before the trial began.
