Foley & Lardner LLP partner Diane Hazel is quoted in the Reuters article, “FTC’s Amazon antitrust lawsuit faces high bar in US court – experts,” commenting on the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and 17 state attorney generals’ recently filed lawsuit against Amazon.com, Inc. alleging that the online retail and technology company is a monopolist engaged in anticompetitive behavior.
Hazel explained that as part of the case, Amazon will have a chance to assert pro-competitive justifications for its alleged conduct, noting that the company would need to show its reasons are “legitimate” to count the FTC’s claims.
Hazel’s comments also appeared in Business of Fashion, Investing.com, U.S. News & World Report, and Yahoo! Finance.
