Overview

Thomas Lang combines his unique experience in government, private practice, and academia to solve complex antitrust and competition law problems for clients.

He has previously served as chair of the Business Torts and Civil RICO Committee, vice chair of the Trial Practice Committee, and is currently vice chair of the Compliance and Ethics Committee. Tom has taught an antitrust law course at Cornell Law School and is a frequent speaker and legal writer on a wide variety of antitrust issues ranging from hospital merger analysis to employee non-compete agreements.

Tom draws on his broad and deep antitrust experience to deftly advise domestic and international companies across the entire spectrum of antitrust and competition law issues. His experience includes navigating international price-fixing cases, allegations of predatory or discriminatory pricing, monopolization claims, class actions, multi-district litigation, state court indirect purchaser litigation, and civil and criminal investigations by the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice.

Before launching his legal career, Tom was a professional staff member on the U.S. Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs. He also served for 15 years as a Military Intelligence Officer in the U.S. Army Reserves and Army National Guard, rising to the rank of Major.
