Associate
Graham Haviland, an associate in the litigation and trial department based in Washington, D.C., helps defend clients in competition litigation and brought by plaintiffs and government agencies in federal district and appellate courts across the country.
As a litigator, Graham has experience advising clients across the full life cycle of antitrust litigation, from initial filing and discovery through trial, post-trial briefing, and appeal. He has played a central role on teams that have secured precedent-setting victories that protect clients’ acquisitions and is a member of a small class of lawyers that has defeated the government in merger litigation multiple times as an associate. He has also helped deliver pivotal wins for clients in class action litigation, monopolization lawsuits, and multidistrict litigation. He is also a principal drafter of successful dispositive motions at the trial court level, as well as briefs in federal courts of appeal and the Supreme Court. His antitrust work is complimented by his deep knowledge of the court system and regulatory agencies, allowing him to successfully navigate clients through high-stakes litigation.
Graham is a member of the firm’s Recruiting Committee.
Prior to joining Latham, Graham served as a law clerk for Judge David F. Hamilton of the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and for Judge Beryl A. Howell of the US District Court for the District of Columbia.
