Akin Gump Once Again Named Top Competition Practice in GCR 100
(Washington, D.C.) – For the fourth year in a row, Global Competition Review has selected Akin Gump for inclusion in its GCR 100 annual guide of the world’s top competition practices.
In its profile of the firm, the publication noted Akin Gump partner Corey Roush’s leadership of the practice and spotlighted the firm’s work in 2020 representing 7-Eleven in its $21 billion acquisition of the Speedway gas station chain from Marathon Petroleum—the largest acquisition in sector history (learn more here).
The publication also described the firm’s work, led by antitrust partner Gorav Jindal, defending longtime client U.S. Concrete in its $1.3 billion sale to Vulcan Materials Company. It also mentions the team’s work defending Gucci in a putative antitrust class action involving allegations regarding a no-poach/no-hire conspiracy, as well as the representation of Norwegian Seafood Council in a putative antitrust class action against various salmon producers over alleged price-fixing.
