SAN FRANCISCO Rejecting claims from a virtual who’s who of Big Law energy firms, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled Wednesday that retail consumers of natural gas can pursue state law antitrust claims stemming from Enron-era price manipulation.
Polsinelli Shughart senior partner Jennifer Gille Bacon said the claims are worth hundreds of millions or even billions if tried. A former Missouri Bar Association president, Bacon and her co-counsel at Milwaukee’s Kohner, Mann & Kailas litigated the appeal against Sidley Austin; Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman; Fulbright & Jaworski; Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan; Dickstein Shapiro; Hogan Lovells; Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe; Locke Lord; GableGotwals; and Baker Botts.
