Home Anwälte Edward B. Schwartz

Ed co-leads our Antitrust & Competition Team in the Global Regulatory Enforcement Group, and has over three decades of experience defending clients in antitrust class actions and other antitrust and commercial litigation, and in criminal and civil antitrust investigations (both federal and state). He is recognized for his aggressive and successful pursuit of clients’ interests in litigation and investigations, and for his advocacy skills both in and out of the courtroom, including through trial. He also regularly represents clients in civil and criminal investigations by the DOJ Antirust Division, the FTC and states attorneys general.

With respect to the mergers, Ed’s innovative and thoughtful approach to navigating the sometimes challenging antitrust merger clearance process has earned him the recognition of both his clients and by fellow members of the antitrust bar with his award by the National Law Journal as a ‘Trailblazer in Antitrust’ for his work on mergers & acquisitions.

Ed also regularly counsels clients to help them minimize the potential antitrust risks arising from their pricing, distribution, licensing, and other practices, as well as in connection with joint ventures and other collaborations with competitors. He has broad experience across a range of industries, with deep experience in aerospace and aviation, healthcare, oil & gas, waste disposal, commodities and derivatives trading, and other industries. His clients appreciate his ability to understand their businesses and business objectives, and to help them meet those objectives without incurring undue antitrust risk.
