Tell us about your biggest trial win from January 2017 to July 2018 and how you achieved the result for your client.

I served as lead trial counsel for AT&T and Time Warner in defending against the Department of Justice's lawsuit to enjoin the merger of these two historic companies. This was the first trial of a vertical merger challenge brought by the United States in nearly half a century. Following a six-week trial U.S. District Judge Richard Leon issued a 172-page opinion rejecting the government's case and permitting the merger to close. Grounding its decision in a comprehensive review of the facts and evidence, the court concluded the government failed to prove the merger would lessen competition. The case is currently on appeal. There was no secret sauce to winning this case. We were on the right side of the facts and law and had the privilege of representing clients with the resolve to stand up for their convictions and to place their trust in the judicial process.
