A pair of leading Washington, D.C., antitrust lawyers has left Squire Patton Boggs for Baker Botts.

Mark Botti, former co-head of Squire’s antitrust practice, and Anthony Swisher, a partner in the practice, previously moved together to Squire from Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, where Botti was antitrust chair. While they considered their options before moving to Baker Botts as partners this month, both men said they did not have serious talks with any firm beyond Baker Botts.
