Molly M. Barron

Molly’s litigation experience includes representing:

• American National Red Cross (Red Cross) in antitrust litigation alleging the Red Cross unlawfully ties the sale of blood platelets to platelet bacteria mitigation services; secured dismissal of all antitrust claims by successfully arguing that the Red Cross’ status as a federally chartered instrumentality makes it not subject to antitrust liability because the definition of “person” under the Sherman Act does not include federal instrumentalities
• U.S. Sugar, an agricultural products company, in defeating the DOJ’s challenge to U.S. Sugar’s acquisition of Imperial Sugar in the US District Court of Delaware – United States v. U.S. Sugar Corp. (D. Del.)
• Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) in an antitrust opt-out case proceeding in the US District Court for the District of Vermont, in which the plaintiffs alleged that DFA engaged in monopolization and monopsonization in the milk processor market; secured dismissal of the monopoly claims and the plaintiffs agreed to dismiss the alleged price-fixing claims on the eve of trial
