Eliot Adelson Named a Top Antitrust Lawyer by the Daily Journal

Morrison Foerster partner Eliot Adelson has been recognized among the Top Antitrust Lawyers of 2025 by the Daily Journal, honoring his sophisticated advocacy in some of today’s most complex, high-stakes antitrust matters.

Eliot’s practice sits at the intersection of law, economics, and public policy—a dynamic space that continues to evolve alongside emerging technologies and global enforcement priorities. His work on United States v. Seris Security NV showcased his strategic approach to cross-border investigations, where he achieved a non-custodial outcome in a case involving parallel U.S. and Belgian proceedings.

He also leads the defense of Nexstar Media Group in the multidistrict Local TV Advertising Antitrust Litigation, one of the largest ongoing antitrust class actions in the media industry. The team’s work has required managing massive discovery across more than 100 markets, coordinating with co-defendants, and briefing complex motions.

Eliot’s recognition reflects his ability to adapt to an evolving enforcement landscape where the roles of information exchange, AI, and analytics are reshaping the competitive arena. His thoughtful, pragmatic counsel continues to guide clients through their most sophisticated challenges in global antitrust enforcement.
