Summary: Former Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Senior Litigation Counsel Thomas Lang has joined Haynes and Boone, LLP as a partner in the firm’s Antitrust and Competition Practice Group. He joins the Washington D.C. office of the firm.
Haynes and Boone announced on Wednesday that former FTC attorney Thomas Lang has joined the firm’s Antitrust and Competition Practice Group as a partner. Prior to joining the firm he was an antitrust partner at Morgan Lewis & Bockius, LLP.
Lang has served in the leadership of the Antitrust Law Section of the American Bar Association continuously since 2003, and is currently vice chair of the Trial Practice Committee. He was previously vice chair and chair of the Business Torts & Civil RICO Committee and is a former vice chair of the Books & Treatises Committee.
From 2006 to 2008, Lang served as senior litigation counsel in the FTC’s Bureau of Competition. In that position, he led FTC trial teams in several high-profile FTC merger matters, including challenges to mergers in the healthcare (FTC v. Inova Health Systems), gasoline refining (FTC v. Foster), and supermarket (FTC v. Whole Foods Markets) industries.

Increasingly we are seeing clients in need of sophisticated counseling to navigate through crucial laws and rules in play. The timing of Tom’s addition to Haynes and Boone couldn’t be better.”
Lang focuses his practice on antitrust litigation and merger reviews. His litigation experience includes class actions, price fixing, predatory pricing, intellectual-property-related antitrust issues, monopolization, state court indirect purchaser litigation, federal multidistrict litigation, and civil and criminal investigations by the FTC and the Department of Justice.
