Professor Barbara van Schewick is hosting a career panel on May 23 that will give you an opportunity to learn more about practicing antitrust on the plaintiff’s side. We have invited three great practitioners with a range of interests and perspectives:

Erika Inwald (SLS ’21) is an associate at Hausfeld LLP in New York. Her practice focuses on environmental, antitrust, and consumer protection litigation. At SLS, Erika participated in the Environmental Law Clinic, and after graduation clerked for the Honorable Ivan L.R. Lemelle of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.

Mikaela Pyatt (SLS ’22) is an associate in the antitrust group of Cohen Milstein in New York. At Stanford, she participated in the Environmental Law Clinic, in addition to serving as co-President of OutLaw, and President of the Environmental Law Journal.

Yaman Salahi is a partner at Edelson PC in San Francisco. Yaman has broad-ranging experience with consumer protection, antitrust, civil rights, and administrative law claims, including in complex class action proceedings and multi-district litigation. He has worked on several high-profile cases in which workers challenged non-compete agreements on antitrust grounds. Prior to joining Edelson, Yaman was a partner at another prominent plaintiff-side class action firm in San Francisco. He has also worked as a Staff Attorney for Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Asian Law Caucus, and as an Arthur Liman Fellow at the ACLU of Southern California. Yaman clerked for the Honorable Edward M. Chen in the Northern District of California.

The panelists will briefly describe their career paths, then we will use the bulk of the time for your questions. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide lunch for this panel, so please bring your own lunch.
