Wiley Rein's Antitrust Practice Rated among DC's Best by The US Legal 500

The 2009 edition of The US Legal 500, a comprehensive guide to "the best of the best" of the legal profession, has rated Wiley Rein's Antitrust Practice among Washington, DC's leading practices and has singled out senior partner Bert W. Rein for additional recognition.

The directory notes that, "Wiley Rein LLP may be known primarily as a lobbying firm and international trade specialist, but it also offers the antitrust expertise of five partners in Washington DC. They focus on the litigation side, with notable experience in regulatory work and class actions, especially in the telecoms and intellectual property worlds." Mr. Rein, the publisher adds, "includes antitrust within a broader litigation practice. He is especially well-known for his food and drugs sector expertise."

The Legal 500 directories aim to provide independent, unbiased commentary on the leading law firms -- and lawyers -- in the most important legal marketplace in the world. The research for the editorial sections is based on the combined opinions of the many lawyers interviewed in each practice area, commentary from corporate clients and analysis of deals or contentious issues reported.
