Ashley (Lee) McMahon

Lee has represented clients in antitrust matters related to no-poach and market allocation, price-fixing, bid rigging, and exclusive dealing, including cartel investigations thereof. She has represented clients before the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice, and state attorneys general, as well as before international competition agencies such as the European Commission and South African Competition Commission. Lee also assists clients with premerger notification, review, and analysis under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act.

Lee’s pro bono practice focuses on work with the Innocence Project on case reviews, and on immigration asylum cases, where she has won asylum for multiple clients. In law school, Lee won release from reincarceration for multiple clients before the U.S. Parole Commission as a law clerk for the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia. She has interned for three public defender’s offices, in Washington; Charlottesville, Virginia; and New Orleans.

While in law school, Lee served as editor-in-chief of the Virginia Journal of Criminal Law and was involved with the Innocence Project Clinic and Public Interest Law Association. She credits her solid footing in the legal world to her years as a paralegal at a revered civil rights and criminal defense boutique firm in Boston.
