United States > Antitrust > Cartel
DLA Piper LLP (US)‘s cartel team represents corporate and individual clients from the pharma, insurance, and tech industries in criminal cartel litigation and governmental and regulatory investigations. The team regularly represents multinational clients before both domestic and international competition authorities and regulators, reflecting the firm’s ability to draw on its global network and multijurisdictional expertise. Lisa Tenorio-Kutzkey, a former DOJ prosecutor with significant expertise in bet-the-company criminal cartel litigation and investigations, leads the team from San Francisco. Los Angeles-based trial attorney John Gibson represents healthcare and tech clients in high-profile cases in California, while Houston’s Allissa Pollard focuses on corporate investigations. In Chicago, of counsel Michael Pullos focuses on multi-district litigation concerning price-fixing and monopolization. The arrival to the San Francisco office of Jessica Heim and former federal prosecutor Matthew Jacobs from Vinson & Elkins LLP in February 2022 further bolstered the firm’s investigations practice.
United States > Dispute resolution > Corporate investigations and white-collar criminal defense
Dealing with all facets of white-collar and regulatory enforcement cases, DLA Piper LLP (US) draws on its ability to supplement its domestic expertise with a vast global network to assist major corporations and individuals in extensive global investigations and enforcement proceedings. Particular areas of note for the practice are False Claims Act matters as well as incidents surrounding cybersecurity. A quartet of attorneys sits at the helm of the team, consisting of Karl Buch and John Hillebrecht in New York, as well as Chicago’s Jonathan King, and Courtney Saleski, who splits her time between Philadelphia and Washington DC. 2022 saw the arrival of a number of new partners to the practice, including former Vinson & Elkins LLP partners Matthew Jacobs and Jessica Heim in San Francisco. Further additions are Boston’s Eric Forni and Michelle Morgan in Wilmington, who held previous positions with the SEC and DOJ, respectively.
