Law Firm Overview

Baker & Miller PLLC , founded in 1995, focuses on antitrust, international business and transportation regulation. The firm’s senior partner, Donald I. Baker, is a former Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and Professor of Law at Cornell University. Mr. Baker is regularly honored by numerous national and international publications and organizations as a leading antitrust lawyer. The firm’s managing partner, W. Todd Miller, is also an internationally recognized competition attorney and has been named by the Global Competition Review as one of the leading competition lawyers in the world. He teaches International and Comparative Antitrust Law at the Washington College of Law at American University. The firm’s third partner, William A. Mullins, is recognized as a leading transportation practitioner. He also has an active governmental affairs practice and regularly consults with Congress and federal agencies.

The firm is frequently engaged in matters which require substantial experience, knowledge and judgment with regards to the international application of competition laws and the U.S. transportation regulatory system. Baker & Miller also routinely works with lawyers outside the U.S. in representing targets and complainants in competition law proceedings in Canada, Europe, Scandinavia and elsewhere. The international projects include mergers and joint ventures, civil investigations, criminal investigations, as well as litigation and arbitration.

Baker & Miller regularly assists clients with all aspects of U.S. competition and transportation law and policy, including distribution and pricing practices, collaboration with competitors, and marketing and other practices of the client’s competitors. Baker & Miller represents clients on a recurring basis in intellectual property antitrust, electronic banking and other networks, as well as agreements involving agricultural cooperatives and labor unions.

The firm has steady involvement in DOJ and Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) merger proceedings and civil investigations, representing both targets and complainants. International cartel investigations by DOJ are a source of special concern to foreign clients, and Baker & Miller is actively involved in several such matters. The firm also has substantial experience before the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) and the Surface Transportation Board (“STB”).

Because of the importance of private litigation and arbitration to the United States’ system of enforcement of antitrust and unfair trade practice laws, the firm actively brings and defends such cases. This is often done on a team basis with a larger firm of litigators which we often help select. The firm also has conducted or participated in numerous appellate matters before the federal courts of appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court.
