Jones Day ‘s Antitrust & Competition practice is led by Washington DC–based Craig Waldman. The team distinguished by its deep bench of former senior DOJ officials and ability to manage matters from initial government investigations through trial, appeal, and resolution. DC–based partner Kevin Hart, a former senior official in the DOJ Antitrust Division, is a core figure in the firm’s criminal antitrust and cartel defense work. Hart advises corporations and executives on price-fixing, bid-rigging, market-allocation, wage-fixing, and algorithmic pricing investigations, including grand jury matters, leniency assessments, and parallel civil exposure. Julie McEvoy brings senior DOJ leadership experience to large-scale civil and criminal antitrust litigation, frequently leading teams defending clients in complex multidistrict proceedings and government investigations. John Majoras adds further depth to the bench with a strong record defending multinational companies in agency challenges and private litigation. Based in Minneapolis, Michael Sawers advises clients on criminal investigations, internal inquiries, and government enforcement matters, drawing on extensive experience as a federal prosecutor and trial lawyer.
