Press Release
September 27, 2024

Miami, FL – Bilzin Sumberg is pleased to announce that Antitrust Group Practice Leader Robert Turken and Antitrust and Complex Litigation Partner Scott Wagner have been named to Lawdragon’s prestigious 500 Leading Litigators in America for 2025 in recognition of their expertise and success in the fields of complex litigation and antitrust litigation. The guide features the top 500 litigators nationally. Bob and Scott were named to the list for the third consecutive year. 

Bilzin Sumberg’s Antitrust Group has achieved national recognition with Bob, Scott, and fellow Antitrust Partner Lori Lustrin’s groundbreaking results representing well-known national and international clients in litigation throughout the country. Bob and Scott have been involved in many high profile opt-out antitrust cases, consistently obtaining extraordinary results for clients that are multiples of the recoveries realized by classes and other opt-out plaintiffs, including the largest recovery for an opt-out plaintiff in an antitrust case in history.

Robert Turken leads Bilzin Sumberg’s Antitrust Group and has served as lead counsel in many of the firm’s most complex and high profile matters. He has vast experience representing clients in multidistrict class actions and antitrust opt-out actions related to price fixing and conspiracy claims.

Scott Wagner is a veteran litigator of high-stakes disputes.  He maintains a thriving antitrust and complex litigation practice. Scott’s international practice includes representing electronics distributors and manufacturers, as well as food and beverage companies, throughout the world on competition and antitrust issues. Scott also serves as trusted counsel to public and private companies, entrepreneurs and developers, rendering high-level legal and strategic advice on matters related to business competition and antitrust issues.

Scott achieved another trial victory this year in a suit stemming from allegations that an international movie producer and his production company defrauded his client. Scott’s client alleged that the producer fraudulently induced him to invest in a series of film and reality TV projects based on false premises. Ultimately, the jury found in favor of Scott’s client, awarding $6.5 million in compensatory damages and an additional $13 million in punitive damages.
