Douglas Litvack is a nationally recognized antitrust litigator and Co-Chair of Jenner & Block’s Antitrust and Competition Law Practice. He represents both plaintiffs and defendants in high-stakes antitrust litigation, handling some of the most complex and consequential matters in federal district and appellate courts across the country. Doug has earned national recognition, including being named to Bloomberg Law’s “They’ve Got Next: The 40 Under 40,” as well as Law360’s Rising Stars and The National Law Journal’s DC Rising Stars.
Doug leads complex antitrust matters, including business-to-business litigation, class actions, and government civil and criminal antitrust investigations. His litigation and investigation experience spans monopolization, price-fixing, exclusive dealing, group boycotts, tying, and other cutting-edge competition issues. He represents clients across a wide range of industries and routinely uses the knowledge gained in those matters to address antitrust issues with creative solutions and strategies, providing clients with efficient, tailored, and practical antitrust advice. His clients value his ability to offer actionable strategies in counseling or litigation that both achieve their business objectives and solve any antitrust issues.
Doug has a track record of delivering results in pivotal matters. He has obtained dismissals of antitrust cases for numerous clients, and some of his most substantial wins have come on appeal in antitrust cases where the district court erroneously ruled against his client. In St. Luke's Hospital et al v. ProMedica et al, Doug argued and secured a unanimous Sixth Circuit reversal of a preliminary injunction that had barred his client from terminating contractual relationships with competitor St. Luke's. This decision has become a leading precedent on a firm's duty to deal with competitors under antitrust laws.
Prior to entering private practice, Doug was at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), where he played a central role in several antitrust investigations and high-profile litigations. He was twice awarded the FTC’s Janet D. Steiger Award for his outstanding contributions in key litigations, as well as its prestigious Stephen Nye Award for his contribution to the FTC trial team in FTC et al. v. St. Luke’s Hospital Sys. et al.
