Chicago-headquartered Sidley Austin has added Jim Lowe as a partner in its Washington, DC, antitrust and competition practice. Lowe was previously at the Washington headquarters of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, where he worked for 23 years, prior to which he served as a trial attorney at the antitrust division of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) for four years.
His practice revolves around merger, civil and criminal investigations before state attorneys general and federal agencies, including the DOJ, the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Commerce and the Federal Communications Commission.
Lowe also handles litigation in the oil and gas, building materials, paper, airlines, railroads, telecommunications equipment and financial services industries.
In a statement, William Blumenthal, co-leader of Sidley’s global antitrust practice, said: “Jim’s significant experience in complicated merger clearance issues will augment our ability to support clients embarking on challenging M&A and private equity transactions.”
WilmerHale was also active hiring in Washington recently: it re-hired Brian Boynton and Danielle Conley as partners in its government and regulatory litigation group.
