Steptoe & Johnson announced that antitrust and competition lawyer Damon Kalt has returned to the firm as a partner in its Washington office.

Kalt most recently served as senior counsel for antitrust and competition at Cigna Corporation, where he played a key role in securing the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) clearance of Cigna’s $67 billion acquisition of pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts.

During his tenure with Cigna, Kalt advised on antitrust and competition law-related issues across the company’s various lines of business including medical, pharmacy, Medicare and Medicaid. Kalt served as the primary internal counsel for all antitrust and competition aspects of Cigna’s acquisition of Express Scripts, a vertical transaction that the DOJ approved unconditionally in September 2018.
