Jones Day
Fielding a team of cartel experts, many of whom have experience serving in government agencies such as DOJ and FTC, Jones Day is highlighted by clients as ‘one of the few firms that can handle a cartel matter from investigation to potential trial’, and noted for its experience acting in the healthcare, pharmaceutical, energy and technology segments. In Washington DC, practice head Craig Waldman's broad practice extends to advice on ESG-related cartel issues. Also in Washington DC, Julie McEvoy is well versed in representing clients in both investigations and trials. Splitting his time between Los Angeles and San Francisco, Eric Enson is a port of call for international investigations, having a track record of defending companies against claims of price-fixing in the computer components, technology and auto parts industries, among others. Kevin Hart joined the firm’s Washington DC office in March 2023 from the DOJ, covering all aspects of criminal cartel investigations, prosecutions, and litigation, including federal criminal jury trials and grand jury investigations.
