Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP

Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP continued its growth in the United States with the arrival of Justina Sessions from Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati and Heather Lamberg from Winston & Strawn LLP in June 2023, contributing significant agency experience of complex merger review processes, including both the DOJ and FTC, while also expanding its work in the tech industry. The team regularly secures clearances for business-critical, global transactions, handling DOJ and FTC investigations, regulatory challenges, and multijurisdictional approvals. In addition to expanding its bench, the team also increased its share of household-name clients, adding Adobe, Uber, Netflix, and Camber Pharmaceuticals on its books. Mary Lehner is a key name for merger control work, advising clients such as United Airlines, Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca. Lawyers are in Washington DC. Jamillia Ferris has left the firm.
