Gordon Lang represents clients in criminal and civil antitrust litigation, in matters before the federal antitrust and other enforcement agencies, in white-collar criminal cases and investigations, class actions, and other complex civil litigation. He is the team leader of the firm’s Antitrust, Regulatory, and Unfair Trade Practices group and was appointed as a non-governmental advisor for the United States at the 2014 International Competition Network Cartel Workshop. He represented an individual in the U.S. House of Representatives’ 2019-2020 impeachment investigation.
I am a former Department of Justice (DOJ) lawyer and represent clients in the full range of antitrust matters, including criminal investigations and cases (including those involving alleged international cartels), class actions and other civil litigation, and merger and non-merger investigations before federal and state enforcement agencies, and internal compliance and counseling matters. My clients have included industrial and transportation concerns (such as MOL Logistics (Japan)), media companies (such as Gannett Co., Inc., and Stephens Media), tech firms (such as TDK Corporation), banks, waste disposal companies, construction firms, government contractors, and service providers and consumer products firms.
Consistent with the enforcement trend, much of my criminal antitrust practice focuses on the representation of foreign-based companies in a variety of industries that have allegedly participated in international cartels. I also represent U.S. companies and individuals in national and local criminal matters. I’ve successfully taken corporations through the DOJ’s leniency program.
My civil litigation practice includes the defense of class action matters involving price-fixing and related claims, monopolization claims under Section 2 of the Sherman Act, anti-merger claims under Section 7 of the Clayton Act, and Robinson-Patman price-discrimination allegations. I’ve successfully defended clients in a number of cases involving the Newspaper Preservation Act.
I represent U.S. and non-U.S. clients in merger investigations (including second request investigations) and non-merger investigations before federal and state antitrust and other enforcement agencies.
The most important work often is in the planning. I work with clients to evaluate the antitrust issues involved in potential business matters and courses of conduct and find a strategy and solution to achieve their objectives. To help clients avoid or evaluate potential problems, I provide antitrust training and conduct internal antitrust compliance investigations.
The Biden administration’s Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission pledged vigorous antitrust enforcement and have lived up to their promise of advancing new theories and priorities. We are beginning to see the effects of those efforts—and the courts’ response to them—with more to come.
