William Rinner Returns to Latham’s Global Antitrust & Competition Practice

Latham & Watkins LLP is pleased to announce that William Rinner has rejoined the firm’s Washington, D.C. office as a partner in the Antitrust & Competition Practice and a member of the Litigation & Trial Department. Rinner brings multidimensional antitrust capabilities. Since leaving Latham, he has worked at a major private equity firm and in the DOJ’s Antitrust Division.

“Bill offers a rare blend of antitrust experience, both in government and private practice, which uniquely enables him to anticipate and help navigate the complexities and nuances of merger control,” said Mike Egge, Global Chair of the firm’s Antitrust & Competition Practice. “We are thrilled to welcome Bill back.”

Added Mandy Reeves, Managing Partner of the firm’s Washington, D.C. office, “As our world-class antitrust team continues to grow here in D.C. and across the globe, we are excited to be able to tap into Bill’s considerable experience as we guide clients through their most intricate transactions.”

Rinner noted, “Returning to Latham feels like a true homecoming. What’s impressed me most is how much the firm, and the Antitrust & Competition Practice in particular, have continued to raise the bar. Latham has always been among the world’s top legal shops though in the eight short years since I left, the firm has grown into an unmatched powerhouse with elite practitioners scoring impactful successes for clients across every practice, industry, and region. I’m excited for the opportunity to expand my practice helping companies navigate increasingly stickier antitrust enforcement issues alongside the world’s fiercest and most creative advocates.”

Rinner received his JD from Yale Law School and his BA from the University of Notre Dame.
