PRACTICE OVERVIEW

SEDA Experts delivers world-class litigation support and economic analysis for antitrust and competition cases. Our team comprises seasoned professionals whose expertise in navigating the complexities of high-stakes antitrust class action disputes is unparalleled.

Specializing in the intricacies of antitrust litigation, we adeptly handle claims involving price-fixing, bid-rigging, and monopolistic practices. Our economists and practitioners bring rigorous analytical frameworks to bear on market definition, competitive harm, and damages quantification.

Our team has supported matters before the DOJ, FTC, EU Commission, and competition authorities globally, providing expert opinions and testimony at all stages of litigation and regulatory proceedings.

SEDA serves both as expert witness and consulting resource in antitrust and competition matters involving financial markets. As expert witnesses, our economists provide rigorous analysis of market definition, competitive effects, and damages in benchmark rate manipulation class actions, credit default swap price-fixing proceedings, and equity market structure disputes. As consultants, we advise financial institutions, law firms, and regulators on the economic dimensions of proposed transactions, pricing practices, and market conduct — providing independent, empirically grounded analysis that is equally effective in litigation and in pre-dispute strategy.

Former senior economists and regulators with direct experience in competition proceedings before the DOJ, FTC, EU Commission, and other global authorities.
