Eliot Adelson Named Top Antitrust Lawyer by Daily Journal

Eliot Adelson has been honored by the Daily Journal and named to its list of the 2023 Top Antitrust Lawyers. The recognition, which honors leading California lawyers who specialize in plaintiff, defense, and government antitrust work, highlights Eliot’s outstanding professional track record.

Eliot is a partner in Morrison Foerster’s Global Antitrust Litigation practice, where he handles complex legal issues on behalf of clients in jurisdictions across the globe. He has cultivated a diverse international client base of both corporations and individuals, spanning a broad range of industries, and boasts an impressive track record of providing winning strategies across a range of high stakes matters, including civil and criminal antitrust litigation, and internal and government investigations.

Additionally, Eliot devotes significant time towards pro bono work and leads a monthly legal clinic for senior citizens in Contra Costa County in conjunction with Contra Costa Senior Legal Services. Eliot also led a team of Morrison Foerster attorneys that assisted the ACLU Foundation of Northern California and the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area (LCCR) in drafting a demand letter urging the City of Sacramento to drop all charges against individuals for violating the city’s June 1, 2020 curfew order. In response to the letter, Sacramento City Attorney Susana Alcala Wood decided not to prosecute the 42 people who received curfew violation citations on June 1, reasoning that the city adopted the curfew roughly three hours before it went into effect. Eliot is a member of the Executive Committee of the Antitrust & UCL Section of the California Lawyers Association and the Executive Committee for the Bar Association of San Francisco’s Antitrust and Business Regulation Section.

Profiles for all of the winning lawyers are featured in a special Top Antitrust Lawyers issue of the Daily Journal, published on November 29, 2023.
