Dechert LLP is pleased to announce that highly regarded antitrust litigator Steven E. Bizar has joined the firm as a partner in Philadelphia. He was previously a shareholder at Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC.
“We are so pleased to have Steve join the firm,” said Dechert CEO Daniel O’Donnell. “He is a first chair trial lawyer with extraordinary results. He will be a tremendous asset to our clients.”
Bizar was named to The National Law Journal’s “Mergers & Acquisitions and Antitrust Trailblazers” list in 2015 and is also a Fellow of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers. He is recognized by Chambers USA for both antitrust and litigation, with that publication noting that he is a “go to lawyer for antitrust defense” who is “particularly admired for his involvement in antitrust class actions and Section1 Sherman act cases.”
“Steve is a rare talent, well known for his skills in the courtroom and for achieving phenomenal results representing clients in high-stakes antitrust and other complex commercial litigation. Steve’s impressive antitrust trial and litigation experience is a perfect fit with our antitrust litigation practice, and we could not be more excited by his decision to join us,” said George Gordon, co-chair of the firm’s antitrust/competition practice group.
Bizar focuses his practice on litigation with a specific emphasis on antitrust and trade regulation. He also has significant experience in the defense of class action lawsuits, securities litigation, government investigations and corporate governance matters.
“I am very excited at the prospect of being a part of one of the country’s top antitrust practices. I have enjoyed representing multinational companies in their U.S. antitrust and complex commercial matters and believe that Dechert’s geographic footprint will prove really beneficial to my clients and my practice,” said Bizar.
A graduate of Brandeis University (B.A., 1984 and M.A, 1987) and Columbia Law School (J.D., 1988), he is a member of the Pennsylvania and New York Bars.
