Google Advertising Monopoly

Connecting law firms with businesses harmed by Google's anticompetitive practices in digital advertising.

Case Overview

Google dominates digital advertising, controlling over 90% of the ad tech market at multiple levels. The Department of Justice and multiple state attorneys general have filed antitrust lawsuits alleging that Google has illegally maintained monopolies in search and search advertising.

Businesses that advertise on Google may have paid inflated prices due to Google's anticompetitive behavior. By controlling both sides of ad transactions and manipulating auctions, Google allegedly extracted billions in excess fees from advertisers.
