Meg Lewis brings a wealth of experience to the firm, shaped by two decades of experience managing teams and handling complex legal issues and high-stakes litigation in the public and private sectors. As a former federal prosecutor who served in leadership positions within the Department of Justice. Meg’s practice focuses on advising clients on navigating multi-faceted investigations and litigation, including antitrust enforcement, white-collar prosecutions, and congressional inquiries.
Meg served as assistant chief in the Washington Criminal and Criminal II Sections of DOJ’s Antitrust Division, where she supervised investigations and prosecutions of domestic and international antitrust and fraud violations, including bid rigging, price fixing, market allocation, algorithmic pricing issues, criminal monopolization, and procurement fraud across a range of industries such as health care, financial services, and government contracts. Meg also served as lead counsel on investigations and federal jury trials, including a precedent-setting trial involving criminal no-poach agreements, as well as a conspiracy to defraud the United States related to government contracting. During her decade with the DOJ, Meg also served in the Office of the Deputy Attorney General and Office of Legislative Affairs, where she counseled senior leadership at the U.S. Department of Justice on congressional oversight inquiries and sensitive high-profile matters. She prepared key officials for congressional testimony and interviews, and she successfully de-escalated matters and reached negotiated resolutions with congressional committee staff.
Prior to joining DOJ, Meg worked at a large law firm, where she represented clients in civil antitrust class action litigation, antitrust compliance counseling, and internal investigations. Meg’s strategic thinking, as well as her deep knowledge of antitrust issues and DOJ policies and practices, has made her a sought-after advisor for both companies and individuals on compliance programs, complex internal investigations, grand jury inquiries, antitrust leniency applications, parallel civil litigation, and negotiation of plea agreements and other resolutions.
