Paul Hastings Adds Rising Star Antitrust Lawyer in Los Angeles
March 06, 2025
LOS ANGELES – Paul Hastings LLP today announced that antitrust lawyer Stephen McIntyre has joined the firm as a partner in Los Angeles, strengthening the firm’s global antitrust and competition practice on the West Coast.
McIntyre, a Chambers-ranked “up and coming” antitrust lawyer, focuses on investigations, government enforcement actions and high-stakes private litigation related to antitrust and competition matters. He has successfully argued cases, including defending class actions, in federal courts and venues for clients across the pharmaceutical, technology and entertainment industries, among others.
“Antitrust and competition risks continue to be at the forefront of our clients’ minds, particularly as a new federal administration identifies its policy-driven priorities,” said firm Global Managing Partner Sherrese Smith. “Stephen’s addition will reinforce our competitive offerings in this space and strengthen the firm’s ability to advise clients on their most crucial, bet-the-company cases.”
McIntyre has represented such clients as Alaska Airlines, ByteDance, Endo Pharmaceuticals, ExxonMobil, Global Music Rights, National Beef, Samsung Electronics and TransUnion.
“I’m excited to add my experience to Paul Hastings’ global practice as the demand for skilled antitrust and competition counsel increases from clients, including many with which the firm and I already share relationships,” said McIntyre.
McIntyre was recently named a “Future Star” in Benchmark Litigation 2025 and one of Daily Journal’s 2024 “Top Antitrust Lawyers.” He was selected as a Law360 “Rising Star” in 2022.
Paul Hastings’ antitrust practice was recognized by Global Competition Review in the 2025 “GCR 100,” the publication’s annual list of the top antitrust and competition practices worldwide. Co-chairs of the Antitrust and Competition practice Michael Murray and Ryan Phair also were recognized individually.
