“The antitrust field has evolved substantially since the beginning of my career, driven, in part, by technology advances, the increased availability of data, and the adoption of more sophisticated economic analyses in litigation,” said Dr. Saravia, who coheads Cornerstone Research’s antitrust and competition practice. “I’ve been fortunate to work on high-profile cases, provide expert testimony, and publish research, working with wonderful lead female economists and attorneys. I’m proud to be part of a growing community that supports and empowers female professionals.”
Dr. Tsai, cohead of the firm’s merger investigations practice in Washington, DC, added: “I am delighted and excited to see many qualified women entering the competition field. This enriches the practice area, bringing fresh experience and perspectives to shape the future of antitrust law and policy. In addition, by fostering a culture that values everyone engaged in this important work, we can create a productive, welcoming environment for top talent. This will benefit not only our clients but also the broader antitrust community.”
