Antitrust

President
We represent plaintiffs and defendants in major antitrust actions nationwide. Clients value our approach: we treat their matters as business problems, not legal puzzles, and deliver practical solutions aligned with their priorities. Unconstrained by conventional thinking, we find the most efficient path to the outcomes our clients need.
With trials in our DNA, we quickly assess how a matter will unfold through verdict. That foresight lets us secure favorable early resolutions—by exposing weaknesses in opposing positions or winning dispositive motions—while standing fully prepared to try the case. As skilled storytellers, we excel at distilling complex issues and persuading judges, juries, and arbitrators.
We bring deep experience guiding clients through government investigations, knowing when to take a strong stand against an agency to protect our clients’ business practices.
Beyond litigation and investigations, we provide strategic counsel on antitrust issues arising in joint ventures, trade associations, and other business collaborations. We advise on pricing policies and competitor interactions to help clients avoid regulatory scrutiny.
"Results-oriented team players who think about litigation in a three-dimensional way."
