Buchanan Ingersoll Expands Antitrust Practice With Washington Hire

Van Vuren joins the firm with more than two decades of experience handling complex antitrust disputes, regulatory investigations and corporate compliance matters. His practice spans litigation, governance and risk management, with particular experience advising clients in the financial services and life sciences sectors.

The move continues Buchanan’s strategic expansion of its litigation platform and antitrust capabilities.

“We are excited to welcome Anthony to our group,” Gretchen Jankowski, shareholder and co-chair of Buchanan’s litigation section, said in a statement. She noted that Van Vuren’s background in high-stakes disputes and governance frameworks would add depth to the firm’s bench and enhance services for clients operating in highly regulated industries.

Prior to joining Buchanan, Van Vuren served as the designated antitrust compliance officer at one of the nation’s largest banking institutions. In that role, he advised senior executives on regulatory matters and oversaw enterprise-wide programs designed to address anticompetitive conduct and anti-tying risks.

He also played a role in the modernization of compliance functions, supervising the development of artificial intelligence tools aimed at improving risk management processes, increasing operational efficiency and helping organizations anticipate emerging regulatory issues.

Van Vuren said he was attracted by the firm’s litigation platform and antitrust team.

“I look forward to working with my new colleagues and clients to expand my practice,” he said.

Earlier in his career, Van Vuren practiced at several global law firms, where he handled major antitrust and complex commercial litigation in federal and state courts. His experience also includes conducting cross-border investigations and advising multinational companies on export controls, economic sanctions, anti-bribery regulations and financial crime compliance.
