The Joseph Saveri Law Firm filed a class action antitrust on December 10 in the United State District Court for the Western District of Tennessee on behalf of competitive cheer families against Varsity Brands, LLC; Varsity Spirit, LLC; and Varsity Spirit Fashion & Supplies, LLC (Varsity), along with U.S. All Star Federation, Inc. (USASF) and others. Plaintiff cheer parents allege the defendants and their co-conspirators have abused Varsity’s market power to raise, fix, and stabilize the prices charged associated with competitive cheer. As a result, cheer athletes, together with their parents, friends, and families, have been overcharged by the defendants, who have obtained millions of dollars in supracompetitive illegal profits. https://saverilawfirm.com//varsity-all-star-and-scholasti/

Zuffa., an antitrust class action lawsuit on behalf of current and former Elite Professional Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Fighters against Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Our firm serves as Co-Lead counsel for the plaintiff class. We are grateful to Judge Boulware for recognizing the importance and class issues in this case, and for granting class certification. https://saverilawfirm.com/class-certification-granted-in-u/
