Biography

Douglas Patton represents plaintiffs in high-stakes federal and state court antitrust cases and complex commercial litigation. He brings over 35 years of experience and skill to the table.

With a firm understanding of his client’s goals and capitalizing on the predictability of his adversaries, Doug strategically advances his client’s cause resolutely.

Most of Doug’s cases involve federal multidistrict litigation in venues throughout the country. Doug has represented aggrieved parties in both domestic price-fixing and international cartel actions. He has prevailed at trial in cases resolved in as little as a week and more complex trials that have lasted several weeks and even months.

Highly regarded for his litigation skill, he has been ranked AV Preeminent 5.0/5.0 by his peers in Martindale-Hubbell® for more than two decades, listed in Best Lawyers in America, Antitrust Law, since 2013, and recognized by Chambers USA.
