White & Case LLP

Housing a ‘great international practice’, White & Case LLP regularly acts for US-based companies in international cartel proceedings, and is geared to handle both criminal proceedings and linked damage claims. The representation of international clients in matters related to the Sherman Act is another noted specialism of the team, and includes vast experience with summary dispositions, trials and appeals in US courts. Exemplifying this in particular is practice head and trial expert Mark Gidley, who recently represented clients from the fintech, education, financial services and energy sectors. Pharmaceutical companies benefit from the firm’s dedicated pharmaceuticals and healthcare group, which is led by Peter Carney, and offers niche expertise in investigation and antitrust litigation concerning allegations of product hopping in this sector. Adam Acosta is another name to note, focusing on government investigations and antitrust litigation. All mentioned lawyers are based in Washington DC.
