Global Competition Review Recognizes Lisa Phelan and Megan Gerking as Leading Women in Antitrust Law

Global Competition Review has once again named Washington, D.C. partners Lisa Phelan and Megan Gerking on its list of top Women in Antitrust for 2025. Now in its seventh edition, the list recognizes women at the forefront of competition law who have made groundbreaking contributions to the ever-changing, increasingly globalized competition landscape.

Lisa Phelan, co-chair of MoFo’s global Antitrust Law practice, is a leading cartel and antitrust litigator. She served for 16 years as Chief of National Criminal Enforcement in the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Antitrust Division, and now defends global corporations and CEOs in antitrust investigations and civil damage actions in the U.S. and abroad. With more than 25 years of service at the DOJ as one of the leading authorities in criminal antitrust matters, Lisa draws upon her unmatched criminal investigations, litigation, and enforcement experience to guide clients through sensitive matters pertaining to domestic and international cartel actions and white-collar investigations, and to rapidly assess and address their risks and total exposure to potential claims of unlawful collusion. Lisa is known and respected by cartel enforcers around the world, and regularly coordinates multijurisdictional investigations. 

Megan Gerking, a partner in MoFo’s global Antitrust Law practice, specializes in government-facing antitrust matters. Megan represents companies in criminal and civil conduct investigations before the DOJ Antitrust Division, Federal Trade Commission, and state enforcers, and in all phases of the merger review process before U.S. and foreign competition authorities. Prior to joining private practice, Megan was a trial attorney in the DOJ Antitrust Division, where she investigated and prosecuted federal antitrust violations and international cartel cases.
