In this conversation, Ethan Glass, a partner with Cooley Law Firm, discusses the complexities of antitrust in the housing market. As an antitrust expert and litigator with about eight years of experience with the Department of Justice (DOJ), Ethan was able to give a broad perspective on legal actions against multifamily revenue management, including:
The stages of litigation, the role of discovery, and the differences between private and DOJ cases.
The commercial drivers and processes behind private suits, like the class actions affecting multifamily.
The DoJ's legal rationale, the details of its lawsuit, and why they suggest a more speculative strategy than we might expect.
The changing application of antitrust laws, which were created in a different economic context.
Why multifamily companies should balance risks and benefits rather than just comply with 'no' advice.
Why the multifamily industry must stand firm in the face of these lawsuits.
