Hogan Lovells US LLP‘s team works primarily out of Washington, DC and provides a litigation-led offering, built around lawyers who focus almost on antitrust cases. The practice is strengthened by former senior officials from the FTC and DOJ, giving it credibility in high-stakes, regulator-facing disputes. The bench is broad and experienced. Justin Bernick is a key figure in complex class actions and investigations. Jennifer Fleury brings strong trial credentials from both government and private practice. Benjamin Holt is a steady hand in long-running, high-value disputes. Chuck Loughlin adds senior FTC trial experience, while Tripp Monts and Claude Szyfer contribute depth across industries including real estate and commodities. Alisa Lu is also a key name in the team.
