Runners-up honors also go to a Mayer Brown team led by Carmine Zarlenga that won summary judgment for client Foster Farms dismissing the company from the antitrust case alleging a conspiracy among poultry companies to reduce the supply of broiler chickens to boost prices. U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin in Chicago found the plaintiffs failed to cite any evidence that Foster joined the alleged conspiracy at any time. The company was among six the judge granted summary judgment to late last month in In Re Broiler Chicken Antitrust Litigation. The Mayer Brown team also included William Stallings, Oral Pottinger, Stephen Medlock (who left the firm for Vinson & Elkins last year), Katherine Bleicher, Ankur Mandhania and Tara More.
