Evan Chesler’s Antitrust Expertise Highlighted in Law360’s MVP Series

On December 12, 2016, Cravath partner Evan R. Chesler was featured as a “Competition MVP” as part of a Law360 series recognizing attorneys with exceptional practices. Law360’s profile of Evan highlights his role leading the Cravath team for American Express “through nearly a decade of legal wrangling before ultimately prevailing at the Second Circuit,” in a suit filed by the United States Department of Justice and 17 state attorneys general over merchant acceptance rules. The piece also notes Evan’s role on the Cravath team that defended IBM in what Law360 describes as “a case that presaged and set the bar for modern mega‑litigation.”
