About Longman’s practice
As acting assistant chief of the DOJ Antitrust Division’s Civil Conduct Task Force, Longman oversaw the work of lawyers and paralegals in the prosecution of complex antitrust conduct claims. That included participating in and supervising the recent U.S. v. Google monopolization case relating to its advertising technology business, which entailed developing the theory and managing the litigation team from the onset of the investigation through trial. During his tenure with the DOJ, he also represented the U.S. in investigations and litigations with respect to conduct claims in a range of industries, including technology platforms, advertising, real estate and agriculture.
Prior to his government career, Longman served as an antitrust associate with several Washington-area law firms, representing clients in federal and state antitrust litigations and merger reviews. He also litigated complex antitrust conduct cases through trial, conducted investigations and provided antitrust counseling.
Longman received his J.D. from George Washington University Law School and an M.S. from the London School of Economics.
