Morrison Foerster

Morrison Foerster fields a well-balanced antitrust team capable of handling the full spectrum of competition work, from trials and cartel investigations to global M&A and regulatory risk management. Alexander Okuliar, as co-chair of the global practice, brings senior DOJ and FTC leadership experience that anchors the team’s strategic approach to major civil enforcement matters. Co-chair Lisa Phelan is a standout figure in criminal antitrust, particularly in no-poach, bid-rigging, and information-sharing investigations, with strong follow-on civil litigation capability. Rob Manoso is a key contributor to the group’s litigation bench. Working between Washington, DC and San Francisco, Bradley Lui adds significant government-side insight from his time at the DOJ, advising on investigations and enforcement across jurisdictions. San Francisco-based Eliot Adelson is trusted on high-risk international cartel and civil matters across diverse industries. In New York, Michael Miller provides seasoned judgment on large-scale litigation and transactional antitrust risk. Megan Gerking and Joe Folio strengthen the practice with DOJ trial experience, particularly in cartel investigations and compliance. All lawyers mentioned are based in Washington, DC unless otherwise stated. David Shaw departed the firm in 2025.
