Antitrust attorney Roxann E. Henry has been elected chair of the American Bar Association’s Section of Antitrust Law for the 2015-16 term. She is a partner in Morrison & Foerster’s Global Antirust Law Practice Group and is based in the firm’s Washington, D.C. office.

“It is my privilege and pleasure to serve as chair of the ABA Section of Antitrust Law this year,” Henry stated. “This section will continue in 2015-16 as the preeminent source for analysis, debate, education and development of antitrust, competition and consumer protection law.”

Henry has over 30 years of experience, handling matters concerning all aspects of antitrust law, from criminal defense to treble damage litigation, as well as merger and non-merger investigations. She has extensive experience representing clients before state and federal courts, the FTC, the Justice Department Antitrust Division, as well as the European Commission and Canadian Competition Bureau. In addition, Henry serves as a non-governmental advisor to the International Competition Network, addressing antitrust enforcement and policy issues around the world.

“In my new role, I will continue to advance the section’s key strategic objectives,” Henry said in her Chair’s Message. “Three areas of priority focus are: the international arena; balance and diversity; and the judiciary. In addition, we will focus upon communications and content delivery, our consumer protection mission and greater thought leadership.” She added, “My goal is to leave a thriving Section to the Chair-Elect Bill MacLeod when he succeeds as Chair next year and to plant seeds that may continue to grow even when Vice-Chair Jon Jacobson takes the reins.”
