Holtzman

Uncovering and proving anti-competitive behavior takes strategy, precision, and creativity. I see it as a real-world, bet-the-company game of Tetris — fitting every piece of evidence perfectly to build a winning case. Luckily, I’m a really good Tetris player. Just ask my wife.

Overview

Chad Holtzman represents clients in high-stakes antitrust, consumer protection, and complex litigation matters where markets, economics, and law intersect. He is committed to recovering damages for businesses and consumers harmed by violations of the federal and state antitrust laws, including price-fixing and monopolization in the pharmaceutical, financial services, commodities and other industries.

Instances of price-fixing in the pharmaceutical space—often known as “pay for delay” cases, in which brand name drug manufacturers pay generic competitors to keep lower-cost drugs off the market—are among Chad’s current areas of focus, as are cases alleging anti-competitive pricing behavior by pharmacy benefit managers.

Chad actively tracks emerging trends that could shape antitrust enforcement, including the use of AI and algorithm pricing across industries. Inspired by G&E’s success in the international securities space, he is expanding his and the firm’s focus to international antitrust, particularly among European jurisdictions.

Prior to joining G&E, Chad spent seven years as an associate at the Philadelphia office of a national Am Law 100 law firm, defending corporate defendants in antitrust and complex commercial litigation. That experience gave him a deep understanding of defense strategies, settlements, and insurance dynamics—and a unique ability to anticipate and counter them from the plaintiffs’ side.

Across every matter, Chad’s goal is the same: to deliver accountability, fairness, and meaningful results for those harmed by anti-competitive or deceptive practices.

Experience

Played key roles on leadership teams in some of the nation’s most significant antitrust and consumer protection cases, including:

  • In re Blue Cross Blue Shield Antitrust Litigation

  • In re Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation
  • In re Novartis and Par Antitrust Litigation (Exforge)
  • In re Humira (Adalimumab) Antitrust Litigation
  • In re Lipitor Antitrust Litigation, among others.

Outside the Office

I’m an avid Philadelphia Eagles fan, dedicated dog lover, and aspiring home chef. I find balance on the water kayaking, on the mountain skiing, and in the stands during football season.
