He provides counsel to clients on competition-related government investigations, private suits, market advocacy, Hart-Scott-Rodino Act requirements and regulatory compliance before national competition authorities, including the Department of Justice, Federal Trade Commission, European Commission and UK Competition & Markets Authority, among others.
