Kirkland & Ellis LLP

Catie Ventura is a litigation partner in Kirkland’s Washington, D.C., office whose practice focuses on antitrust and competition matters and other complex litigation. She has extensive experience in cases presenting novel questions of law and complex factual disputes.

With regards to antitrust matters, Catie’s practice includes representing corporations with respect to alleged criminal and civil antitrust violations and representing clients regarding antitrust aspects of mergers and acquisitions. Many of these matters are non-public because the government-entity elected not to pursue the matter beyond the investigation stage.

Catie’s complex commercial litigation practice covers business torts, mass torts and products liability matters. Catie’s experience in structuring large scale, novel settlements has led her to work with numerous companies as settlement counsel to resolve complex litigation matters.
