We represented a collegiate athletics and events organization in response to a third-party subpoena issued by DOJ Antitrust Division in a high-profile monopolization action in the live-entertainment industry. The subpoena sought documents and testimony concerning the client’s ticketing practices, venue arrangements, and contractual relationships with touring promoters. Given the sensitive, competitive nature of the requested information, the client was concerned about disclosure of proprietary contract terms and future booking strategies. Our team conducted a careful privilege and relevance review and negotiated scope limitations with government counsel to ensure sensitive information would not be used unfairly.
