In a recent strategic development, White & Case has bolstered its global antitrust practice by appointing Rahul Rao as a partner. Rao transitions from his role as deputy director at the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Bureau of Competition. This significant move was publicly announced by the firm on Wednesday, underscoring White & Case’s continued emphasis on strengthening its antitrust capabilities in Washington.
During his tenure at the FTC, Rao was integral to shaping the commission’s investigatory and litigation strategies. His oversight extended across several critical sectors, including health care, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, retail, consumer goods, labor, and private equity. This diverse exposure highlights his extensive expertise, which he will now bring to bear at White & Case.
The decision to enlist Rao aligns with the firm’s ongoing commitment to deepening its proficiency in navigating complex antitrust matters, especially as these areas evolve with industry trends and regulatory developments. The firm’s global clientele is likely to benefit from Rao’s comprehensive understanding of both the regulatory landscape and the strategic considerations critical in high-stakes antitrust cases.
