As many of you know, I spent my career with the Antitrust Division in the now closed Philadelphia field Office. I retired from the DOJ in 2013 and split time between Philadelphia and DC, working first with one of the world’s largest firms and then in a very small firm with a few of my colleagues who also had left the Antitrust Division. Over the last 18 months, I have been in transition to Palm Springs, California.  I am now a full-time resident of the California—the Golden State.

Since leaving the Antitrust Division, I have represented individuals in white-collar investigations, assisted plaintiffs in class action cases, and provided competition compliance for corporations.  I have also successfully handled a number of whistleblower (qui tam) cases.  Bid rigging qui tams on public contracts is a particular interest of mine; it always has been from my days at the Antitrust Division.  I have also handled various litigation matters such as successfully defending a Chinese company against spurious charges (dropped) that they were importing counterfeit coins.  I hope to continue working—on either Coast, as I enjoy visiting back East.  I still consult on some matters as Of Counsel with GeyerGorey, but I am now on my own and can be reached here.

I will continue with Cartel Capers and writing for other competition law outlets.   I appreciate everyone who reads the blog.  Antitrust/competition law has provided me with an extremely interesting career.  I’ve been blessed to work in an area that I am passionate about and I’m not done yet.

I have a new email address, though I’ll still get messages from my old address.  [email protected].

Thanks for reading.
