The American Antitrust Institute (AAI) announced that Laura Alexander joined the organization as Vice President of Policy on January 6, 2020. Alexander brings deep experience in antitrust enforcement to AAI, strengthening the institution’s unique ability to navigate the essential connections between enforcement and competition policy.
Alexander played a leading role in several significant private antitrust litigations. She was part of the trial team that achieved a landmark jury verdict and judgment of more than US$1 billion on behalf of purchasers in the Urethanes (Polyether Polyols) Antitrust Litigation. Most recently, Alexander settled a groundbreaking class action against Sutter Health in California, achieving a settlement of more than US$500 million, coupled with robust injunctive relief that promises to transform California hospital markets.
“We are delighted to bring Laura Alexander onto the AAI team. She brings valuable skills to our strong base of staff expertise in competition law, economics, and policy,” said AAI President Diana Moss. “Laura’s experience and perspective will be critical in supporting and expanding AAI’s leading role in invigorating antitrust and proposing tractable reforms.”
Alexander has repeatedly been identified as a Rising Star by Super Lawyer Magazine for her work on behalf of antitrust plaintiffs and was recently recognized as a Lawdragon 500 Leading Plaintiff Financial Lawyer.
