Serena Candelaria

Serena Candelaria is an associate in the New York office of Latham & Watkins and a member of the Litigation & Trial Department.

Serena represents clients in a broad range of complex litigation matters, with a particular focus on antitrust litigation and high-stakes antitrust trials, in state and federal courts, as well as in arbitrations, in jurisdictions around the country. She has advised clients across the full life cycle of litigation, from discovery through trial and post-trial briefing. She draws on extensive experience spanning multiple industries to help clients navigate complex commercial and antitrust litigation matters—including multidistrict litigation, class actions, and business-to-business litigation—involving claims of monopolization, attempted monopolization, price-fixing, conspiracy, state unfair competition laws, and fraud, among others. Serena has achieved significant victories for clients at every stage of litigation, including through dispositive motion practice, at trial, and through settlement.

Serena earned her JD from Yale Law School, where she represented pro se clients in civil cases before the Second and Third Circuits as a student attorney in the Advanced Appellate Litigation Project.
