Amino Acid Lysine Antitrust Litigation
(In re Amino Acid Lysine Antitrust Litigation, MDL 1083 (N.D. Ill. 1996))

Archer-Daniels-Midland Co., two Japanese companies, Ajinomoto and Kyowa Hakko, and two Korean companies, Sewon and Cheil Sugar Co., allegedly conspired to fix the price of synthetic lysine, which is used agriculturally as a food additive. During litigation, there was videotaped evidence of company executives at meetings in several Asian and European cities discussing illegal sales targets to limit supply. These allegations were settled for $50 Million. We assisted potential claimants, primarily feed and manufacturing companies, in filing for settlement.
