Latham & Watkins LLP fields numerous lawyers with previous experience working for the DOJ and FTC, and has a successful track record in dealing with both cartel investigations, as well as follow-on litigation defense. Working together closely with the firm’s offices in Europe, the group is sought out by domestic and multinational companies from various sectors such as pharmaceuticals, retail, software, real estate, and healthcare. The team is headed by global chair Amanda Reeves in Washington DC, and global vice chair Belinda Lee in San Francisco, with Lee being recommended for advising US, European and Asian clients in government investigations before regulators and courts across the globe. Also in San Francisco, Niall Lynch is lauded for acting in criminal and civil price-fixing investigations, including those with ties to Brazil, Korea, the UK and Canada. As a former DOJ trial lawyer, New York-based Elizabeth Prewitt is adept at the full spectrum of cartel work, including investigations and trials relating to price fixing, bid rigging and no-poach agreements.
