Megan Jones (@MeganJonesEsq) is a California Bay Area-based lawyer who focuses on recovering damages for companies who are victims of antitrust cartels for price-fixing, tying, restraints of trade, and other competition violations. With 19 years of experience in antitrust class actions, Megan has an "extraordinary depth of expertise in cartel-related matters." Companies that buy things to make things have typically bought cartelized products, and Megan helps them recover damages for such purchases. Able to analyze a corporation’s purchases around the world, Megan can then offer a panoply of options for recovery in multiple jurisdictions. She emphasizes the non-litigation options a corporation has when appropriate, and she is as adept at settling a case in a conference room as she is in a courtroom. The Legal 500 has selected Megan as one of the Top Leading Lawyers in the U.S. in plaintiffs’ representation for antitrust every year since 2012, and she has twice been listed on Global Competition Review’s Women in Antitrust.
