How We Can Help
Our team stands ready to guide clients through the full spectrum of current and future issues. If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to any of the lawyers pictured below in the contacts section or your regular Morgan Lewis contact.
Our team’s extensive knowledge spans the spectrum of competition law—from obtaining global pre-merger approval of competitive transactions, to responding to investigations by government authorities and defending class action and competitor lawsuits, to advising on issues involving intellectual property, competitor collaborations, and other antitrust matters.
We have briefed, argued, and won many cases before the US Supreme Court, every US Circuit Court of Appeals, and numerous state appellate courts. We also maintain an active amicus curiae practice, filing briefs on behalf of market leaders, industry groups, and members of Congress in federal and state courts across the United States.
Clients turn to Morgan Lewis as they address how climate change impacts their businesses and communities—whether through reducing their carbon footprints, securing tax benefits, or implementing an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy.
With many of our lawyers returning to Morgan Lewis after serving in the highest levels of government, we maintain strong relationships with government agencies and regulators. Our bipartisan congressional investigations team routinely represents clients before a wide range of Senate and House committees, subcommittees, and offices.
Our team of former senior Department of Justice (DOJ) officials understands the nuances of corporate criminal investigations. When there is new DOJ leadership, we assist clients in navigating policy and personnel changes in an agency whose actions have been a topic of significant discussion during the campaign.
