Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP has made a significant addition to its antitrust practice by bringing on Mark Seidman as a partner in its Washington, D.C., office. The firm’s announcement, made public Wednesday, highlights Seidman’s considerable experience and expertise in the field of antitrust law.
Seidman previously headed the Mergers IV Division at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), where he played a pivotal role in shaping the agency’s merger enforcement policies. His experience in working with regulators worldwide is expected to bolster Weil’s capabilities in navigating complex antitrust issues for its clients.
The addition of Seidman aligns with Weil’s strategy to enhance its global antitrust group, particularly in light of increasing scrutiny and regulatory challenges in mergers and acquisitions. This move is viewed as part of a broader effort by leading law firms to attract top-tier talent from regulatory bodies to better service their clients’ needs.
