US: Antitrust vet joins Joseph Saveri

eteran antitrust and class action lawyer Steven Williams has left Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy for Joseph Saveri’s San Francisco-based litigation boutique, which he has joined as a partner.

Williams left Cotchett in December, 2017, after nearly 20 years at the Bay Area-based litigation firm. He said it was about time for him to transition to a new chapter in his career.

“It was a very good time at the end of the year to make a change, [and] at about the time that I made it, Joe reached out and we started some conversation,” Williams said.

Following a few months of discussions with Saveri, whose family name has a long history in San Francisco’s legal community, Williams decided to make the move. His first official day was April 2.

“Joe has a long history as one of the foremost antitrust lawyers, and his father was very influential and worked with some landmark decisions from the Supreme Court in the antitrust field,” Williams said. “In the few years since [Joe started his own firm], he has had great success. He has built it into not only a well-functioning machine, but a very diverse firm.”
