Skadden, Arps has announced the return of the Federal Trade Commission’s chief trial counsel Tara Reinhart to its antitrust and competition group.
Tara Reinhart will re-join Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom as a partner in the Washington, DC, office where she will practice complex antitrust litigation and assist clients who are subject to international cartel, and other government, investigations, such as those commenced by the United States Department of Justice antitrust division and state attorneys general.
In addition to her investigations experience, Reinhart has defended clients against class action claims of reverse payments, price-fixing and monopolisation, as well as grand jury investigations.
She returns to private practice from the United States Federal Trade Commission where she was chief trial counsel in the Bureau of Competition for just under two years, handling federal court and administrative litigation; during which time she led the successful litigation against office supply chain store Staples over its proposed acquisition of Office Depot, one of the FTC’s most prolific merger litigation trials in over a decade.
In a statement, Skadden’s head of global antitrust and competition Steven Sunshine said: “The breadth of Tara’s merger litigation experience, along with her track record as a highly regarded antitrust litigator, will be of tremendous value to our clients.”
