About joining Bona Law, Paul said, “Having worked with the Bona team as Deputy Attorney General on a complex price-fixing matter, I already knew Bona Law has one of the best antitrust practices in the country.

This aligns perfectly with my own belief that clients are served best by happy lawyers.”

Paul’s addition to our team will enhance our ability to provide the highest level of legal services to our clients who increasingly require complex advice informed by diverse legal views and experiences, including government service.”
