Meegan Hollywood Selected to Join American Antitrust Institute Advisory Board

Robins Kaplan LLP is pleased to announce that Meegan Hollywood has been selected to join The American Antitrust Institute (AAI) Advisory Board.

AAI selected Meegan to join the newest slate of additions to the AAI Advisory Board, which is made up of experts in the fields of antitrust law, economics, and business, with a focus on both domestic and international competition enforcement and policy. According to AAI’s website, board members “play an important role in helping AAI promote competition that protects consumers, businesses, and society through its research, education, and advocacy programs.”

AAI President Diana Moss, in announcing the latest slate of board members, noted she was honored to welcome them to the board given“[t]heir expansive and cutting edge work in private antitrust litigation” which “has contributed to important developments in antitrust law.”

Meegan is a partner in the firm’s Antitrust Group and prosecutes actions involving price-fixing, unlawful monopolization and other anticompetitive practices. She previously litigated the In re Air Cargo Shipping Services Antitrust Litigation involving a class of direct purchasers who recovered over $1.2 billion in settlements for an alleged global conspiracy in the market for airfreight services. Meegan has been recognized twice by AAI for her work on the case: Outstanding Antitrust Litigation Achievement by a Young Lawyer in 2014 and Outstanding Antitrust Litigation Achievement in Private Practice in 2016.

Meegan currently serves on the court-appointed Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee in In re Local TV Advertising Antitrust Litigation representing a proposed class of purchasers of broadcast television spot advertising against defendants who are alleged to have engaged in a scheme to artificially inflate prices in violation of federal antitrust law. Additionally, she currently represents a direct action plaintiff in opt-out litigation against two of the largest freight railroads in the country for allegedly conspiring to fix prices on rail shipments. She is the firm’s New York Pro Bono chair, and serves as a Vice-Chair for the ABA Section of Antitrust Law Global Private Litigation Committee.
