About

Kevin is a partner in Freshfields’ Antitrust, Competition, and Trade (ACT) practice group, based in the Washington, DC office. With over 25 years of experience in competition law, Kevin brings a wealth of expertise in merger control, antitrust investigations, and counseling.

Before joining Freshfields, Kevin served as the lead antitrust counsel for global M&A at Google, where he spent 15 years advising on some of the most complex and high-profile antitrust matters in the tech industry. Prior to his in-house role, Kevin was a counsel in the antitrust and competition practice at a major U.S. law firm, where he represented clients in significant merger litigation and regulatory investigations. He began his legal career as an Honors Attorney in the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, where he worked on high-stakes investigations in the technology, telecommunications, and financial services sectors. Kevin also clerked for Chief Judge J. Frederick Motz of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland.

Kevin’s deep understanding of both the regulatory landscape and the competitive dynamics of the tech industry makes him a trusted advisor to clients navigating complex antitrust issues. His reputation as a thought leader in the antitrust community is further evidenced by his long-standing involvement with the American Bar Association’s Section of Antitrust Law, where he serves on the Editorial Board of the Antitrust Source.

At Freshfields, Kevin continues to leverage his extensive experience to deliver sophisticated competition-centered advice to clients in the U.S. and around the world.
