Career
Meghan (Edwards-Ford) Rissmiller guides companies through the U.S. merger clearance process. Whether before the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Antitrust Division or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Meghan has the experience and know-how to help companies develop effective global clearance strategies, particularly when the transaction is complex and the antitrust issues are challenging.
She counsels clients on a range of non-merger antitrust and consumer protection issues and has litigated antitrust cases in federal court and administrative actions. Meghan has experience in multiple industries, with a focus on consumer goods and diversified industrials. She is a trusted advisor to many global companies because of her ability to become immersed in her clients’ businesses and to provide thoughtful commercial advice.
Meghan joined Hogan Lovells after clerking for the Honorable Jane R. Roth of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, giving her valuable insight into judicial thinking and how to successfully advocate for her clients. Prior to attending law school, Meghan spent two years as a national security analyst for a major U.S. defense contractor.
In addition to maintaining a rigorous legal practice, Meghan is a leader in the American Bar Association’s Section of Antitrust Law through her role as a Vice Chair of the Federal Civil Enforcement Committee. She co-leads Hogan Lovells’ African-American Attorney Affinity Network and is a longstanding member of the DC office’s law school and judicial clerk recruitment committee.
