US: Hausfeld names new antitrust practice group co-chairs

Global law firm Hausfeld announced that partners Bonny Sweeney and Scott Martin will become the new co-chairs of the firm’s US Antitrust Practice Group. “I am delighted that Scott and Bonny have agreed to take on this new role as co-chairs,” said Michael Hausfeld, the firm’s founder and Chairman.

“As we celebrate the firm’s 10-year anniversary, and after a decade myself as antitrust practice group head, I am proud to welcome these two leaders within the bar to take up the helm of this talented, dynamic, and growing group of lawyers.”

Bonny Sweeney is a partner in the firm’s San Francisco, California office. She has served as lead or co-lead counsel in many significant antitrust cases and has achieved precedent-setting results for her clients. Her experience includes investigations, litigation in federal and state court, oral advocacy at the trial and appellate levels, and bench and jury trials.

Scott Martin is a partner in the firm’s New York City office. A 25-year veteran of large international firms, since joining Hausfeld in 2015, he has continued to counsel corporate clients, while principally focusing on plaintiffs’ antitrust and class action work, including as lead counsel or in significant positions in various multidistrict litigations. Martins’ practice extends to bench and jury trials in both federal and state courts as well as numerous FTC, DOJ, and state attorney general investigations.
