As Google faces a growing number of antitrust lawsuits over its Google Play store practices, the company has tapped powerhouse law firms O'Melveny & Myers and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius to fight the litigation.
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in July, claims the only option for app developers is to use the Google Play store for Android app distribution because the technology giant has "targeted potentially competing app stores." More than 30 states are suing the company alleging its practices illegally eliminate competition.
