Antitrust attorneys from Constantine Cannon and Robins Kaplan are launching a new boutique law firm amidst a notable uptick in antitrust enforcement actions. This venture follows closely on the heels of the Justice Department’s lawsuit against Visa Inc., signaling the Biden administration’s ongoing efforts to tighten antitrust regulations.
The firm, Shinder Cantor Lerner, will have offices in both New York and Washington, DC. Founders Matthew Cantor and Jeffrey Shinder, formerly with Constantine Cannon, are joined by Kellie Lerner, the former co-chair of Robins Kaplan’s antitrust and trade regulation group. “We’re in a moment where antitrust has a resurrected profile, which had languished for 50 years,” Shinder mentioned in an interview.
This focus on antitrust comes as litigation in this area continues to rise, driven by heightened scrutiny and regulatory actions. For more details on the formation of Shinder Cantor Lerner and insights into the increased antitrust activity, visit the Bloomberg Law article.
