Cuneo Gilbert & LaDuca, LLP is a law firm with offices in Washington, D.C., New York City, St. Louis, Nashville, and Minneapolis. The late Jonathan Cuneo was the lead partner of the firm along with co-partners Pamela Gilbert and Charles LaDuca. The firm represents consumers, businesses, workers and governments through litigation, lobbying and public advocacy.

Antitrust

Auto Parts Price-Fixing Antitrust Litigation – CGL successfully represented auto dealers in 29 states and D.C. in the In re: Automotive Parts Antitrust Litigation,[1] the largest international antitrust investigation in U.S. history.

Turkey Price-Fixing Antitrust Case – CGL represents a certified class of restaurants, food suppliers, and institutional buyers.[2]

Pork Antitrust Litigation – CGL serves as Co-Lead Counsel representing a certified class of commercial and institutional indirect purchasers alleging that some pork producers in the U.S. engaged in a long-running price-fixing conspiracy through coordinated supply restrictions and data sharing.[3]

Consumer protection

"Joe Camel" case – CGL's predecessor firm, Cuneo Law Group, PC, served as Washington counsel in the first case to challenge the Joe Camel cigarette advertising campaign. The action was filed in California state court in 1991.[4]

Prudential case – CGL represented individual claimants against Prudential Insurance Company in post-settlement proceedings after a class action charging that Prudential had abused policyholders through deceptive sales practices. Over a period of eighteen months, the firm oversaw approximately 55,000 arbitration-like proceedings in a $4 billion settlement.[5]

Product liability

Entran II – CGL represented homeowners whose Entran II radiant heating systems allegedly contained defective pipe, yielding a $346 million bi-national settlement. On November 17, 2004, New Jersey District Court gave final approval of this settlement.[6]

Privacy

Metromail – CGL brought a class action suit against Metromail for privacy violations surrounding supermarket questionnaires. After a woman in Ohio received a sexually suggestive letter from a maximum security inmate in Texas, it came to light that the company had subcontracted for Texas prisoners to “key” the questionnaire information.[7] The firm settled the case for injunctive relief, and a cash pool of $15 million was made available to victims.
