David Cross was featured in the Beer Marketer's Insights coverage of a
recent hearing for his client Provi in a federal lawsuit against Southern
Glazer's Wines and Spirits and Republic National Distributing Company, the
largest two wine and spirits distributors in the United States, alleging
unlawful efforts designed to stifle competition from Provi to maintain or
enhance their monopoly power.

"This case needs to move forward quickly," David argued, because it's "not
just us" being harmed. "Southern is under investigation by the FTC [Federal
Trade Commission] for anticompetitive practices" and "had their offices
raided by the IRS [Internal Revenue Service] in conjunction with the TTB
[Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau]. They want your honor to believe
[that] everyone is wrong" and that Southern is "somehow a victim [but]
that's just not plausible."
