Any advice on breaking into DC antitrust from a clerkship? My term (not federal, but in DC) will be ending soon. Graduated from T30 law school with a fair GPA, and really want to work in antitrust but not sure what firms I should be aiming for - been thinking about applying at plaintiffs-side, but quality is important and I want opportunities to learn/develop under good attorneys. Also don't want to jump into to something that could limit a later move but don't know how this works

Look at Chambers and Partners for DC antitrust and see who does something you’re interested in. Lots of antitrust in DC. Better to start off defense side, imo. Better resources.

Tbh it’s not easy to go from a non-federal clerkship into antitrust since almost all antitrust cases are in federal court. Also plaintiffs firms usually don’t do pure antitrust but do a wide range of general lit. Your best best is probably a plaintiff firm or a State AG (maybe DC) and try to jump into the DOJ/FTC or a defense bar firm. Good luck!
