With a practice devoted entirely to litigating antitrust claims, Judith is a trusted advocate for clients in high-stake price-fixing and monopolizations cases.  Her representative matters include In re TFT-LCD (Flat Panel) Antitrust Litigation (N.D. Cal.), In re Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) Antitrust Litigation (N.D. Cal.) and In re Intel Corp. Microprocessor Antitrust Litigation (D. Del.). 

Judith managed all key aspects of the LCDs case—the nation’s largest indirect-purchaser antitrust class action—and achieved a record-breaking $1.082 billion all-cash settlement on behalf of consumer class members.  Her experience leading LCDs and other cases has given her a firm handle on complicated electronic discovery issues, insight to overcome difficult legal challenges, and extensive experience working with economists and industry experts.

Her experience also includes successfully defending against individual price discrimination claims on behalf of a national pet products retail chain and a major oil company. 

Since 2011, Judith has served as the Chair of the Antitrust Section of the Bar Association of San Francisco, and has been twice selected to participate in the American Bar Association Antitrust Section’s International Civil Redress Task Force.  

A native San Franciscan, Judith is the Hiring Partner for the firm's San Francisco office.  She also serves on the firm's Diversity Committee and is a national board member of the Women in Law Empowerment Forum (WILEF).
