Emma Burton

Emma Burton is a partner in Crowell & Moring's Washington, D.C., office, and a member of the firm's Antitrust and Competition and Litigation groups.  She combines litigation skill with strategic discipline to help clients recover what they are owed in major antitrust and tort settlements, bringing deep experience at every stage of the class action claims process – from prosecuting individual claims through final distribution – with particular focus on resolving the complex disputes that frequently arise along the way. That work routinely involves contested questions of allowable purchases, data sufficiency, jurisdiction, and fund allocation, to maximize client recoveries. Emma also counsels clients on whether opting out of a class to pursue a direct action or business-driven solution is the stronger and more financially sound path to a greater recovery.

Emma graduated from Brown University in 1994 and earned her J.D., cum laude, from Georgetown University Law Center in 1997. While in law school, she was a member of the Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics.
