Janet
L.
McDavid
Partner,
Washington, D.C.
Janet McDavid focuses on antitrust, competition, and trade regulation, with a particular emphasis on government investigations, litigation, and antitrust policy issues.
Jan has been profiled in numerous international surveys and rankings and is widely recognized as a leading authority in antitrust law. Most recently, she was named as "one of the finest antitrust lawyers around" and lauded for her "... very good judgment and practical advice," by Who's Who Legal. Other industry authorities, such as Chambers USA, have noted client praise for her strong ties to the government: "In terms of working with the agencies, she is terrific." Clients say Jan "understands how business people operate" and describe her as "the cream of the crop" with "one of the best reputations at the antitrust bar." Jan is also a frequent speaker on antitrust issues around the globe.
