A partner at Hausfeld LLP, Christopher L. Lebsock concentrates in civil litigation and trial practice.  He has recently worked on a number of technology related antitrust cases including In re Flash Memory Antitrust Litigation (N.D. Cal.), In re TFT-LCD (Flat Panel) Antitrust Litigation (N.D. Cal.), In re Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) Antitrust Litigation (N.D. Cal.), In re Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) Antitrust Litigation (N.D. Cal.), In re Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) Antitrust Litigation (N.D. Cal.), In re Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) Antitrust Litigation (N.D. Cal.), and In re Intel Corp. Microprocessor Antitrust Litigation (D. Del.).

Mr. Lebsock is also actively representing a class of international air passengers in In re Transpacific Passenger Air Transportation Antitrust Litigation (N.D. Cal.) and purchasers of tomato products and paste in Four In One Company et al. v. SK Foods et al., a class action pending in the Eastern District of California.  Mr. Lebsock is currently representing a public company in an effort to recover damages from its investment advisor as a result of the latter's breach of securities law, and he is assisting several individuals in personal injury matters.

Mr. Lebsock works with a number of law firms and trade associations in Asia to ensure that Asian companies victimized by international cartels obtain appropriate compensation for their injuries.

Prior to joining the firm, Mr. Lebsock was a principal attorney with The Furth Firm, LLP, where he concentrated in complex business litigation, particularly antitrust and labor and employment class actions. Mr. Lebsock was a principal member of the plaintiffs’ trial team in Savaglio v. Wal-Mart, a class action of nearly 119,000 Wal-Mart hourly employees who sued their employer for wrongfully denying them meal periods and rest breaks. After more than three months of trial, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff class of more than $172 million, including $115 million in punitive damages. Mr. Lebsock was also the primary attorney at the firm responsible for litigating In Re Automobile Antitrust Cases I & II (S.F. Superior Court), a California class action in which the plaintiffs alleged that major automobile manufacturers illegally conspired to prevent the export of Canadian vehicles to the United States. Mr. Lebsock authored and argued an appeal in that case before California’s First District Court of Appeals. The decision is published at 135 Cal.App.4th 100 (2005).

He has published several articles concerning the class action device and other procedural obstacles to bringing cases to trial.
