In their tenth
annual GCR Awards, leading antitrust publication Global Competition Review
(GCR) honored Latham with multiple accolades, including the two most coveted
of the year: Lawyer of the Year for Bay Area partner Dan Wall and Lifetime Achievement for Washington, D.C.
retired partner Peggy Zwisler. A
cross-border team representing Facebook before Germany’s highest courts also
took home the GCR Award for Behavioural Matter of
the Year – Europe.
Additionally, several Latham teams and individuals were honored as GCR Award Finalists in the following categories:
- Merger
Control Matter of the Year: Europe, “Novelis/Aleris”
- Litigation
of the Year: Non-cartel Defence, “PNE Energy Supply v Eversource Energy”
- Matter
of the Year, “Facebook appeal against the Bundeskartellamt”
- Dealmaker
of the Year: Amanda Reeves, partner and
Global Chair of Latham’s antitrust practice
- Lawyer of the Year, Under 40: associate Jan Höft
The broad array
of lawyers and matters honored illustrates one of Latham’s strengths and
differentiators: a truly global team with the deep expertise to tackle the most
complex and precedent-setting antitrust matters around the world.
Each year, GCR
spotlights the matters, lawyers, economists, and enforcers that made the
competition industry sit up and take notice over the prior 12 months. GCR Award
finalists are chosen by the publication’s editors and winners are voted on by GCR
readers, who represent the entire spectrum of the international antitrust
community.
