Antitrust Law Daily Wrap Up, LAW FIRM NEWS: Antitrust litigator John Shaeffer joins Fox Rothschild, (Apr 24, 2015)

Fox Rothschild LLP has added antitrust and commercial litigator John Shaeffer as a partner in the firm’s Los Angeles office. He previously served as partner-in-charge of Lathrop & Gage’s Los Angeles office.

Shaeffer focuses on handling complex litigation matters involving antitrust, intellectual property, and other areas of law, across the consumer products, defense, energy, life sciences, and technology industries. He also teaches New Media Law at Santa Clara School of Law.

“As a first-class litigator of high-profile and complex cases, John broadens Fox’s arsenal of legal talent in California,” stated managing partner of the firm’s Los Angeles offices, Darrell D. Miller. “Adding him to our national litigation team is a real coup as we continue to expand our resources and capabilities to handle high-profile cases in the LA office of Fox Rothschild LLP.”

“As a first-year associate, I had the occasion to take a prominent role in a multibillion-dollar antitrust case involving Southern Pacific Railroad. This was transformative to my career and solidified my preference for significant, intellectually challenging cases that require a particular blend of skills, from telling a client’s story convincingly to improvising when there is a shift in a case,” Shaeffer said. “I am looking forward to benefiting Fox by tapping into my years-long courtroom experience and diverse strengths. It is an honor to be affiliated with a firm that continues to grow its capacity, platform and reach.”

Fox Rothschild is a national law firm with roughly 600 attorneys in 19 offices across California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C.
