More informationMore information

The ‘incredibly responsive’ team at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP excels in representing large airlines, blue-chip tech companies, and large private equity firms across the full spectrum of contentious antitrust issues. In particular, the group has notable strength in advising corporate clients in contentious merger challenges and large class actions. In Washington DC, Karen Dunn takes point on bet-the-company litigation, particularly matters in the intersection of antitrust and consumer law, for clients in the tech sector. Also in DC is Bill Isaacson, a veteran antitrust litigator with a strong track record acting for leading tech giants in large class actions, both on the defense and plaintiff side. Andrew Finch splits his time between the firm’s New York and Washington DC offices and has a broad antitrust practice with notable industry expertise in the aviation sector. Aidan Synnott, also in New York, co-chairs the antitrust group and handles merger clearances and challenges for public companies and private equity funds. Synnott works alongside Brette Tannenbaum  and Staci Yablon; Tannenbaum is the firm’s antitrust deputy chair and is the go-to individual for competitor-on-competitor litigation, while Yablon is highly recommended for her financial services industry expertise.
