US: Holwell Shuster & Goldberg promotes antitrust partner

Holwell Shuster & Goldberg announced on Monday, January 14, that Jayme Jonat has been named partner.

Jonat has represented clients in numerous high-profile antitrust and securities fraud class actions, including her defense of Visa in antitrust litigation against many of the world’s largest retailers, and her representation of the state-owned investment firm Alberta Investment Management Corporation in connection with its claims in several universal life insurance cases.

She also regularly works on large-scale internal investigations. “Jayme is an absolute star,” said Richard Holwell, co-founder of the firm and former judge in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. “Her judgment, demeanor, and insights are invaluable to clients in high-stakes litigation and investigations. We are thrilled to welcome her to the partnership.”

Jayme’s active pro bono work has included the successful appeal of a felony conviction as well as a cutting-edge workplace discrimination case on behalf of pregnant and breastfeeding pilots and flight attendants.
