William W. Horton, a partner in the firm's Business & Commercial Transactions Practice Group and member of the Health Care Team in the Birmingham office, was quoted in an article published by the Birmingham Business Journal on July 18. The article titled, "What Will Blue Cross Lawsuit Mean for Competition in Alabama?" discusses the potential effects of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield antitrust lawsuit on the Birmingham area, where Blue Cross holds a dominant market position. Mr. Horton states that because Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama is so entrenched in the market, he does not anticipate the results of the case affecting market dynamics in any way.
