Current Cases

Scharpf, et al. v. General Dynamics Corp., et al. (E.D. Va.): Cohen Milstein represents naval architects and marine engineers in a putative antitrust wage suppression class action against the nation’s largest military shipbuilders and naval engineering consultancy firms. Plaintiffs allege that starting in at least 2000, Defendants engaged in a “no poach” conspiracy by adhering to an informal “gentlemen’s agreement” among themselves not to recruit each other’s naval engineers. On May 9, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed the lower court's April 19, 2024 motion to dismiss and remanded the cases for further litigation. On June 13, 2025, the Fourth Circuit denied Defendants' petition to rehear their appeal.
