Heating up in the Windy City: The Tipline for 13 August 2018

A pair of articles from Chicago headline today’s Tipline. In a Litigators of the Week feature, we highlight Nixon & Vanderhye’s success in drumming up a nine-digit damages award against a gambling products company accused of sham litigation. We also have coverage of an Illinois federal court judge ruling that a fire district in the Chicago suburbs is immune from an antitrust complaint brought by a fire alarm manufacturer. And for one more Illinois note, senator Tammy Duckworth has weighed in on the Sinclair/Tribune fallout.
