WASHINGTON, D.C., July 30, 2019 – Baker Botts’ Global Antitrust and Competition practice Chair, Maureen Ohlhausen, has been selected to Washington Legal Foundation’s (WLF) Legal Policy Advisory Board.

Ms. Ohlhausen, who was one of six newly selected to the Board, has an unparalleled legal background in antitrust, privacy, and regulation. As the former FTC Acting Chairman and Commissioner, she directed all aspects of the FTC's antitrust work, including merger review and conduct enforcement, and steered all FTC consumer protection enforcement, with an emphasis on privacy and technology issues. Today, she helps lead the antitrust and competition practice and counsels clients in a variety of sectors, including leading technology, retail, and telecommunications companies, regarding antitrust investigations and compliance, privacy, and consumer protection matters.
