I am sure that many readers followed with interest the recent litigation brought by college athletes against the NCAA and the top athletic conferences in which the athletes alleged that the defendants conspired to suppress athletes’ compensation. The lawsuit ended in a blockbuster settlement that may reshape the fundamental economics of college sports. Now, as discussed in the following guest post from Sarah Abrams, a group of professional tennis players, have filed a lawsuit in which they, too, allege their compensation has been suppressed, in this case by a “tennis cartel.” Sarah, who is Head of Claims Baleen Specialty, a division of Bowhead Specialty, takes a look at the new lawsuit and considers the D&O insurance implications. I would like to thank Sarah for allowing me to publish her article as a guest post on this site. I welcome guest post submissions from responsible authors on topics of interest to this site’s readers. Please contact me directly if you would like to submit a guest post. Here is Sarah’s article.Continue Reading Guest Post: Antitrust is Love

In the latest example of this pattern, the card payment processing company Visa has been hit with a securities class action lawsuit after the DOJ launched an antitrust enforcement action against the company in September. There are several interesting features to this new lawsuit, as discussed below. The November 20, 2024, complaint against Visa can be found here.Continue Reading Antitrust Enforcement Action Against VISA Leads to Follow-On Securities Suit
