Baker McKenzie‘s US Antitrust & Competition practice is noted for its capabilities in cartel defense and enforcement matters. The group is led by Creighton Macy in Washington DC, Global Chair of Antitrust & Competition, whose prior leadership at the DOJ Antitrust Division adds significant depth to the team’s strategic approach to investigations, litigation, and compliance. Macy is supported by a deep bench of experienced partners, including Jeffrey Martino in New York, a go-to advisor on criminal antitrust and cross-border cartel matters, along with Mark Weiss and Ashley Eickhof in Washington DC, who regularly handle high-stakes merger reviews and government investigations.
