On The Move: Mark J. Botti
Congratulations to Mark Botti who joined Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld’s Washington, D.C. office from the Department of Justice. Almost exactly two weeks ago, Antitrust Review noted that DOJ was seeking candidates to fill his position and wondered if this meant he was leaving. He has. According to the Akin Gump press release:
During his 13 years of service at the Department of Justice, Mr. Botti served in a wide-range of litigation and policy positions within the Antitrust Division. As chief of the Litigation I Section, he litigated complex antitrust claims on behalf of the United States. He exercised jurisdiction over some of the most vital sectors of the economy, including health care, insurance and agriculture. Mr. Botti brought monopolization cases, horizontal conspiracy suits and merger challenges. His team tried the last successful merger case and the last successful monopolization case litigated to judgment by the Antitrust Division. In addition to appearing in court numerous times on behalf of the Department, he taught litigation skills internally and made many public presentations on antitrust litigation. Prior to heading the Litigation I Section, Mr. Botti served as assistant chief in the Litigation II Section and as a trial attorney in the Professions and Intellectual Property Section and in the Health Care Task Force.
