Ian Conner Email & Phone Number

I draw on two decades of experience, at both federal antitrust enforcers and in private practice, to develop innovative legal approaches to address clients’ complex antitrust issues. I have significant experience in the pharmaceutical, technology, oil and gas, retail services, telecommunications, transportation, and healthcare industries. As Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Competition from 2019-2021, and as Deputy Director from 2017-2019, I oversaw nearly 300 lawyers and staff in bringing merger and civil non-merger enforcement matters during the most active enforcement fiscal year since 2000. During my tenure, the FTC issued the Vertical Merger Guidelines in conjunction with the DOJ, issued the Vertical Merger Commentaries, and initiated a proposed rulemaking and reexamination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act (HSR) rules.Portions of this profile may constitute attorney advertising.
