Mark Fanelli represents US and international clients in high-stakes complex civil and criminal antitrust lawsuits. These disputes often involve alleged price fixing, market allocation, exclusive dealing, monopolization, price discrimination, tying, bundling, reverse payments, and other alleged violations of federal and state antitrust laws. Mark is also a member of Morgan Lewis’s automotive and mobility industry team that counsels a variety of automotive and mobility stakeholders on consumer protection, regulatory compliance, product launch, and new market entry matters.
Mark has handled large civil and criminal antitrust matters in federal court and international arbitration from the initial pleading stages through trial and appeals on behalf of stakeholders in the pharmaceutical, life sciences, automotive and mobility, and emerging technology industry sectors. He also has experience with handling antitrust government investigations, internal investigations, and compliance counseling and training.
In addition, Mark has counseled an original equipment manufacturer on implementing risk mitigation strategies in North America to combat the semiconductor shortage that affected its automobile assembly and manufacturing. Moreover, Mark has worked directly with the offices of general counsel, executive leadership, and engineering divisions of automotive and mobility companies to develop launch strategies for new autonomous vehicle platforms in the United States, including autonomous delivery services and self-driving vehicles for passenger transportation. During these representations, Mark has built relationships across clients’ internal divisions as well as with regulators at the local, state, and federal levels to assist with the introduction of new technologies in various geographic markets over the short and long term.
Further, Mark has written on antitrust issues that may arise surrounding the use of exclusive supply agreements among firms in manufacturing supply chains, as well as state franchise laws that curtail the direct sale of electric vehicles to consumers and its impact on the local economies. Mark has also spoken regularly on the state and federal regulatory climate facing the autonomous and electric vehicle sectors. He was interviewed by Thomson Reuters on how micromobility solutions are changing the way that people travel in US cities and how local and state governments can embrace these clean energy solutions to reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions and address the issue of transportation dead zones.
As an adjunct professor at Saint Joseph’s University, Mark teaches courses on the US legal environment facing corporations to undergraduates in the Erivan K. Haub School of Business. He also serves as an advisory board member to the Dean of the Haub School of Business and the Director of Athletics at Saint Joseph’s. Moreover, Mark serves as a mentor to first-generation students who are pursuing careers in the legal profession.
Finally, Mark has focused his pro bono practice on advising grassroots, Philadelphia-based groups that are seeking federal tax exempt status under IRC § 501(c)(3). He also has partnered with the Pennsylvania Innocence Project to assist the organization in its mission to exonerate those who were convicted of crimes they did not commit and prevent the convictions of innocent people.
