US: Lowenstein adds antitrust partner

Lowenstein Sandler announced today that Leiv Blad has joined the firm as a partner and co-chair of the firm’s antitrust practice in Washington, DC.

Mr. Blad has spent nearly two decades representing domestic and international companies in complex antitrust investigations and litigation, including matters involving price fixing and monopolization. He is particularly well-versed in defending clients in the pharmaceutical and financial services industries, both of which have been the subject of government scrutiny for pricing practices.

Said Mr. Blad, “Lowenstein’s sophisticated and accomplished team in DC impressed me, as did the firm’s entrepreneurial culture and client focus. I was particularly struck by the fact that every attorney I met throughout the firm could articulate with great clarity the strategy of his or her practice group and of the firm. I don’t know of another firm with that kind of strategic focus. I am grateful to be part of such a strong team as we help steer our clients through an evolving antitrust environment.”
