I study antitrust law, the antimonopoly tradition, and law and political economy. My academic work examines the limits of the current paradigm in antitrust law, assessing how its welfare-based framework fails to capture empirical realities and betrays the republican origins of antitrust. Several of my projects have focused on how dominant digital-era firms freshly reveal these shortcomings and demand an approach to antimonopoly that is animated by questions of power, distribution, and democracy.
I am an associate professor of law at Columbia Law School. Prior to joining Columbia, I served as counsel to the U.S. House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial, and Administrative Law, where I helped lead the Subcommittee’s investigation of digital markets and the publication of its final report.
My scholarship has been published by the Harvard Law Review, University of Chicago Law Review, Columbia Law Review, and Yale Law Journal and was described by the New York Times as having “reframed decades of monopoly law.” My work has been profiled in the Atlantic, Boston Globe, Financial Times, New York Times, Washington Monthly, Washington Post, Yahoo Finance, Le Figaro, El Pais, and Manager Magazin, and widely discussed in both national and international press.
I previously served as a legal advisor in the office of Commissioner Rohit Chopra at the Federal Trade Commission and as legal director at the Open Markets Institute. I received a B.A. magna cum laude with highest honors from Williams College, where I studied political theory, and a J.D. from Yale Law School.
