WilmerHale‘s antitrust practice is anchored by a deep bench of talent across the nation. The team is routinely instructed on bet-the-company cartel investigations, complex civil antitrust litigation, and high-stakes regulatory disputes, often involving parallel proceedings before the DOJ, FTC, state attorneys general, and courts across the US. The practice is jointly led from Washington, DC by Hartmut Schneider and Jennifer Milici, with Milici bringing significant trial experience gained as chief trial counsel at the FTC’s Bureau of Competition. Longstanding practice chair Thomas Mueller remains a dominant figure in global cartel enforcement, earning recognition for his work on multijurisdictional investigations and strategic resolutions. David Gringer heads the firm’s New York antitrust practice and is noted for leading high-profile class actions and monopolization disputes, particularly in the education, technology, and energy sectors. The team is further strengthened by recent senior FTC hires and a strong next generation, including Nana Wilberforce in Los Angeles, noted for cartel and internal investigations work. Steven Cherry has retired.
