Washington D.C., 15 October 2024 – Global law firm Hogan Lovells announced Jennifer “Jenny” Fleury has joined the firm’s Global Regulatory and IP practice as a partner in the Antitrust, Competition, and Economic Regulation (ACER) practice in Washington, D.C. Fleury, who was previously a senior associate, rejoins the firm from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), where she served as the Deputy Chief Trial Counsel for the Bureau of Competition.
“We are pleased to welcome Jenny back to the firm,” said Janice Hogan, Practice Group Leader for the Global Regulatory & Intellectual Property group. “Her track record and deep understanding of antitrust litigation will be invaluable to our team and clients. Jenny’s insights into the current enforcement priorities and policy developments will build on our existing capabilities and offer clients a fresh perspective coming off of recent government enforcement efforts.”
In her career at the FTC, Fleury has led major cases and helped oversee the Bureau of Competition’s litigation docket. She recently served as lead counsel for the FTC in its successful challenge to the IQVIA/Propel transaction, and she has been instrumental in multiple other high-profile cases. Her experience includes directing trial strategy, supervising teams of FTC attorneys, consulting on active cases, briefing Commissioners, coordinating with international and state regulators, and advising FTC shop management on litigation strategy and risks.
Logan Breed, the global co-head of Hogan Lovells’ Antitrust, Competition, and Economic Regulation practice, added: “Jenny’s return comes at a crucial time as we continue to strengthen our partner ranks and bolster our antitrust practice in the U.S. market. Her experience with the current Commission’s enforcement approach and her work on tech-related and health care antitrust cases will provide a fresh perspective and strengthen capabilities to serve our clients.”
Fleury’s legal career is marked by her ability to navigate complex regulatory environments and deliver favorable outcomes. At the FTC, she not only led trial teams but also played a crucial role in shaping litigation strategies that align with the agency’s enforcement priorities. Her work has been recognized for its impact on antitrust law, particularly in the technology and health care sectors, where she has tackled some of the most challenging and high-stakes cases.
Fleury shared her enthusiasm: “I am thrilled to return to Hogan Lovells and contribute to such a dynamic and esteemed practice. My experience at the FTC has equipped me with unique insights into antitrust litigation, and I look forward to leveraging this knowledge to benefit our clients and enhance our capabilities.”
