Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP is well versed in handling antitrust suits brought against tech and food sector clients, while also handling investigations and merger reviews by the FTC and DOJ. Washington DC-based Eric Mahr heads the firm’s US antitrust practice and is requested by clients facing civil suits and regulatory challenges both domestically and further afield, particularly in relation to proceedings initiated by the European Commission. June 2023 saw a pair of arrivals strengthen the group, with former Winston & Strawn LLP attorney Heather Lamberg moving to the firm’s DC office and specializing in market allocation and monopolization claims, and Justina Sessions joining from Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati in Silicon Valley, with a practice centered on antitrust cases in the tech industry.
