Daniel Leff

Dan joined Crowell from the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office (AGO), where he served in the Office's Antitrust Division. In that role, he worked hand-in-hand with enforcers from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the attorney general offices of nearly every U.S. state and territory to investigate and litigate merger, monopolization, and cartel matters.

His work with the AGO included successfully trying merger and Sherman Act § 1 cases in federal court. He was also a lead member of a plaintiff group comprising nearly every state attorney general office in the country in a large pharmaceutical price-fixing multidistrict litigation (MDL).

Dan also investigated, litigated, and settled numerous competition matters in industries including telecommunications, transportation, energy, agricultural products, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals. Clients benefit from Dan's experience in the Sherman, Clayton, and FTC acts and numerous state antitrust and consumer protection statutes, as well as his familiarity with the perspectives of state and federal enforcers across the country.

Dan began his career at Crowell, where he represented clients facing federal and state antitrust, consumer protection, and environmental scrutiny, primarily in the telecommunications and energy industries. He also previously worked for an international law firm in Boston, representing pharmaceutical and medical device companies facing federal civil and criminal investigations.
