Axinn Named Antitrust Law Firm of the Year at the Chambers USA Awards 2026

Axinn is proud to be named Antitrust Firm of the Year at the 2026 Chambers USA Awards, which honor top law firms and lawyers across the U.S. for excellence, innovation, and high performance.

This accolade highlights the strength of Axinn's antitrust practice, advising on mergers, litigation, cartels, and investigations.

In the 2026 Chambers USA Guide, the firm was noted for its talent: “Axinn's exceptional bench of talent addresses the most sophisticated issues. The team has a strategic mindset and quickly distills complex issues to achieve favorable outcomes.”

“This is a tremendous honor,” said Mike Keeley, Chair of the antitrust practice. “It reflects our team’s talent, judgment, and dedication to our clients who look to us for their most important and complex matters.” 

Axinn’s antitrust team, among the largest in the U.S. with 100+ full-time antitrust attorneys, offers comprehensive services and has led more than 500 disputes in the past decade and orchestrated an estimated $750 billion in M&A transactions.

The award follows previously released recognition by Chambers, where the firm ranked highly nationwide and in three markets—New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.—as well as being named as “Firm of the Year – Americas” by Global Competition Review. 

“This award reflects our rigorous, collaborative, practical, and client-focused approach,” said Jeny Maier, firm Managing Partner. “We’re thrilled to be selected and even more so to have the trust of our clients as they navigate an increasingly complex antitrust enforcement and litigation environment.”

The ceremony was held at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan on June 11, 2026.
