Q: What are some of your proudest recent achievements?

A: About a year ago, I joined Crowell & Moring’s premier antitrust group after serving as a Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the U.S. Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division. Since joining Crowell’s top-notch team, I have had an opportunity to represent a number of leading multinational corporations in high-stakes government investigations and “bet-the-company” litigation. Most prominently, I was part of the Crowell team that successfully represented AT&T in connection with its $85 billion acquisition of Time Warner. We served as AT&T’s co-lead antitrust counsel during the DOJ’s investigation and were part of the trial team that defeated the DOJ’s challenge to the transaction. The trial victory that we helped secure on behalf of AT&T resulted in a landmark 172-page decision that many antitrust experts and commentators have predicted will have significant precedential value for decades. Having the opportunity to work on such a historic matter with great lawyers on both sides has been a true career highlight.  And, I could not be prouder of our team’s performance. Throughout this multi-year engagement, our team lived up to the legal profession’s highest standards, both in terms of the quality of work that it produced and the way in which it conducted itself.
