US: Morrison & Foerster expands antitrust and cartel team in San Francisco

Morrison & Foerster announced that Bonnie Lau has joined the firm as a partner in San Francisco in its Global Antitrust Law Practice and Investigations + White Collar Defense Group.

Ms. Lau’s practice focuses on civil and criminal antitrust litigation in federal and state courts, as well as enforcement proceedings before agencies in the US and other countries. She further strengthens the firm’s criminal antitrust and cartel offerings following several recent high-profile additions, including Lisa Phelan, former Chief of the National Criminal Enforcement and Washington Criminal I Sections of the Antitrust Division at the US Department of Justice (DOJ).

Ms. Lau has almost 15 years of experience litigating class action and complex commercial disputes, and has served as lead counsel on antitrust price-fixing cartel matters in the Northern District of California. She has defended companies in antitrust and related complex litigation involving claims of price-fixing, output suppression, monopolization, and group boycott, as well as prosecuted antitrust counterclaims in patent and IP infringement matters.
