The international law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP announced that Andrew G. Berg has joined its Washington, D.C. office as a shareholder in the antitrust litigation and corporate and securities practice groups. Prior to joining Greenberg Traurig, Berg was a partner with Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal, where he was the national chair of the antitrust, competition and marketing practice group.
His practice is concentrated on litigation, mergers and acquisitions, and other antitrust and competition-related matters before the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (DOJ). He also represents clients before state attorneys general and in private litigation. He is experienced in handling a full range of antitrust transactional and mergers- and acquisitions-related matters, including Hart-Scott-Rodino filings at the FTC and DOJ and related merger analysis issues. He also counsels and litigates unfair and deceptive trade practice matters involving advertising, marketing and financial and credit practices. Over the span of three decades, Berg has represented clients in nearly every industry sector in the antitrust and trade regulation area and has counseled clients in hundreds of agency investigations and merger reviews.
“Andrew’s addition will enhance the breadth of capabilities that we are able to offer to current firm clients, and Andrew’s clients will greatly benefit from Greenberg Traurig’s international platform,” said Ronald W. Kleinman, the managing shareholder of Greenberg Traurig’s Washington, D.C. office. “I am very pleased to welcome Andy to the firm.”
In the public sector, Berg served as Senior Attorney Advisor to a Federal Trade Commissioner, where he formulated policy and voting recommendations on FTC enforcement and regulatory matters and prepared Commission adjudicatory opinions and congressional testimony. He has authored numerous law review articles and has participated in many professional panels examining current antitrust and mergers- and acquisitions-related issues, as well as deceptive and unfair practices issues.
Berg received his J.D. from Vanderbilt University School of Law, where he was an Associate Articles Editor on the Vanderbilt Law Review. He received his A.B. from Harvard College.
