Jason Murray and Chahira Solh Named Top Antitrust Lawyers in California by the Daily Journal

Los Angeles and Orange County – December 20, 2024:  Jason Murray, co-chair of Crowell & Moring’s Antitrust and Competition Group, and Chahira Solh, chair of the firm’s executive committee and partner in the Antitrust and Competition Group, have been named “Top Antirust Lawyers 2024” in California by the Daily Journal. The annual award given by the California-based legal publication chose Murray and Solh for their track records of guiding Fortune 500 companies through high stakes litigation, consistently defending businesses in antitrust matters and recovering hundreds of millions of dollars for their clients.

Murray told the Daily Journal, “I was drawn to antitrust litigation because as a first year, I was staffed on a big, multi-month trial. It was exciting and a challenge and we won. I was hooked.”

Solh said she took an economics class in undergrad focused on antitrust law and “it cemented for me that I’d like to practice law and in a field where my economic studies could intersect with the law. I was fortune to have excellent academic and professional mentors in my career to help me deepen my antitrust experience.”

Murray’s Daily Journal profile highlights his defense of a health care company in a multi-district class action litigation and related government investigation surrounding pricing. In May of this year, the company won their motion to dismiss. The plaintiffs have since filed an amended complaint.

Murray also successfully settled all claims against a health care company in a lawsuit filed in California state court. Plaintiffs accused his client of using a price service to artificially reduce out-of-network reimbursement for providers, violating California’s Cartwright Act and Unfair Competition Law.

Solh’s profile highlighted her trial victory for a manufacturer that faced claims of monopolizing its industry and entering into an anticompetitive restraint of trade with its exclusive distributor.
