David Kesselman, founding partner of Kesselman Brantly Stockinger LLP, was recently quoted in the Law360 article, “More Big Tech Firms Could Show Up In DOJ’s Google Search.”
The article looks at the DOJ’s antitrust lawsuit against Google and the possible implications this case could have for other big tech companies who are also facing scrutiny on both federal and state levels. Attorneys offered mixed responses as to whether the Google complaint would lead to action against Facebook, Apple and Amazon, even as these tech giants were the focus of the House antitrust subcommittee report released in early October.
David Kesselman pointed out that the Google complaint is likely more than just a test case, citing the political and public clamor to rein in technology platforms’ market power.
“As we all know, these cases take years. Given that you have both sides of the aisle seemingly pressing … I would think that we’re going to see other cases filed in the coming months and not just waiting to see what happens with this one, because it would just be too long,” Kesselman said.
