About Courtney
Courtney Palko is an associate at Blecher & Collins. Since joining the firm in 2004, she has worked on complex business litigation matters focusing on antitrust, intellectual property and unfair competition law. She has also been involved in handling class action matters.
Significant Matters:
- Represented a consulting firm against a large multi-national conglomerate in a multimillion dollar business interference lawsuit involving a military procurement contract. After trial, the parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement.
- Represented a former sponsor of college football bowl games against the National Collegiate Athletic Association alleging price fixing and business interference claims.
- Defended a major San Francisco tour attraction provider against a competitor's predatory pricing, exclusive dealing and unfair competition claims.
- Represented a class of music composers and owners of sound recordings against television studios and distributors for failure to pay licencing fees.
- Represented student-athlete class in White v. NCAA, a certified, antitrust class action alleging that the NCAA violated the federal antitrust laws by restricting amounts of athletic-based financial aid. The NCAA settled and paid an additional $218 million for use by current student-athletes to cover the costs of attending college, paid $10 million to cover educational and professional development expenses for former student-athletes, and enacted new legislation to permit Division I institutions to provide year-round comprehensive health insurance to student-athletes.
- Represented national consumer class in Bradley v. NBC Universal, alleging that the cable distributors and TV programmers violated the federal antitrust laws with tiering restrictions and a la carte prohibitions which prevent the cable companies from competing to offer different packages of channels to cable customers.
