Richard Alan Arnold is a nationally recognized Trial Lawyer specializing in complex litigation. He has tried antitrust cases for Plaintiffs and Defendants, but over his 28 years of practice he has concentrated on antitrust cases, with an emphasis on plaintiff's cases representing specific client interest as distinguished from class action or mass action representation. He has represented public companies, entrepreneurial individuals, and privately-held companies in plaintiff's antitrust cases in a wide variety of industries, including pharmaceuticals, vitamins, telecommunications, consumable commodities, banking, automotive, health care and airlines. He has represented opt-out plaintiffs in many of the civil antitrust cases that have proceeded parallel to or following the Government's criminal prosecution of international cartels.
Besides his private antitrust work, he serves as a special assistant attorney general in several States prosecuting or providing counsel. He is a member of the American Law Institute, the ABA Section on Antitrust, and he belongs to other professional associations. He formerly chaired the Ad Hoc Committee on Rules and Procedures of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. He has written on antitrust law, including such topics as implied rights of action under the antitrust laws and has also lectured on antitrust law.
He is a resident in the firm's Tennessee office, but can often be found in the firm's main office in Miami or in its office in Washington D.C.
His practice concentrates in the areas of antitrust and trade regulation, as well as complex commercial litigation.
Born in Kingsport, Tennessee, Richard Alan Arnold earned his B.S. degree from East Tennessee State University; his J.D. from the University of South Carolina; and his LL.M., Master of Laws, from the University of Illinois. He clerked for the Honorable William E. Miller in the United States Circuit Court for the Sixth Circuit. He has been admitted to practice before a number of Federal Circuit and District Courts around the country. Mr. Arnold is a member of the Bars of the States of Florida and Tennessee.
