Based in Washington D.C., Dr. Warren-Boulton is a member of the firm's disputes & economics practice.

"Who's Who Legal works hard to identify the leading practitioners in antitrust, and I am quite pleased to be included in that group again this year," said Dr. Langenfeld, Senior Managing Director. "Our professionals are among the best qualified and most dedicated in the business, and it is always rewarding to work with them on the complex and data driven matters."

Based in Washington D.C., Dr. Langenfeld is a member of the firm's disputes & economics practice. Dr. Langenfeld has expertise in economic analysis and expert testimony for litigation, regulatory actions, and economic policy. With over 30 years of experience, he has worked on matters including antitrust, class actions, mergers, and regulations' impact on firms and consumers. This experience includes holding a variety of positions at the Federal Trade Commission, including serving as the Director for Antitrust in the FTC's Bureau of Economics where he was a major contributor to the FTC and Department of Justice 1992 Horizontal Merger Guidelines. Dr. Langenfeld is an adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Law and editor of Research in Law & Economics, and regularly testifies in litigation and regulatory proceedings at the federal and state levels in the U.S., Europe, Canada, and other countries. These analyses include economic evaluation of monopolistic practices, price fixing and price discrimination, mergers, damages, class certification, and regulations' impact on firms, consumers, and various employment issues.
