The Federal Communications Commission announced Tuesday that it has hired a top antitrust lawyer to the agency’s number two enforcement position.
According to reports, Paula Blizzard will join the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau. She joins from Keker & Van Nest, where she is a partner focusing on antitrust and patent cases.
Blizzard was also previously an antitrust attorney at the US Department of Justice as well as Microsoft.
The FCC’s Enforcement Bureau is the regulator’s largest office, reports say.
Blizzard’s joining of the FCC comes in the midst of several major antitrust cases for the communications regular, which is tasked with reviewing the controversial merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable as well as a high-profile dispute over net neutrality.
