Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom announced on Monday that James Fredricks has joined the firm as a partner in the antitrust and competition group in Washington, D.C.

Having previously served as the chief of the Washington Criminal II Section of the Antitrust Division at the Department of Justice, as well as assistant chief of the division’s Appellate Section, Fredricks brings a wealth of experience to Skadden.

In his new role, Fredricks will provide counsel and representation to clients facing antitrust investigations and prosecutions.
