Baker McKenzie Adds Former DOJ Senior Litigator Tim Finley As Partner In Antitrust & Competition Practice

Baker McKenzie has strengthened its Antitrust & Competition Practice with the addition of Tim Finley as Partner in Washington, DC. A seasoned first-chair trial lawyer with nearly 30 years of experience, Finley joins the firm after an 18-year tenure at the US Department of Justice, where he served in senior roles across the Antitrust Division and the Consumer Protection Branch.

Tim brings a wealth of litigation and regulatory experience, having led high-stakes civil and criminal trials involving global corporations and senior executives. His practice spans antitrust enforcement under the Sherman Act, unfair trade practices, mass consumer fraud, data privacy, and investigations involving agencies like the FTC, FDA, DEA, and international authorities. Prior to his DOJ career, he was a litigation partner at a major US law firm.

Commenting on his addition, Creighton Macy, Global Chair of Baker McKenzie’s Antitrust & Competition Practice, said:

“Tim is a highly accomplished former federal prosecutor with unmatched experience in trying and investigating antitrust and consumer protection cases. With his strong reputation and track record in the courtroom, Tim will be a highly trusted advisor for our clients.”

Maurice Bellan, Managing Partner of the Washington, DC office, added:

“Tim brings an impeccable reputation and credibility that will be invaluable to our clients, particularly in this heightened enforcement environment.”

Colin Murray, Baker McKenzie’s North America Chief Executive, noted:

“Our antitrust team is unmatched in its ability to pair deep market knowledge with a global perspective. Tim’s insights will help our clients thrive in turbulent regulatory environments.”

Tim joins amid major global expansion of Baker McKenzie’s antitrust team, which now comprises over 300 practitioners in 60 offices worldwide. His arrival follows recent high-profile additions to the firm, including former US Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and former Treasury official Scott

Reflecting on his move, Finley shared:

“I was initially drawn to Baker McKenzie because of the well-known growth and dynamism of the Firm’s Antitrust & Competition Practice. As I got to know the team further, I found a great cultural fit as well as a place where I will have an opportunity to work on some of today’s highest profile antitrust and litigation matters.”

Finley holds a BA cum laude from the University of Arizona and a JD from Northwestern University School of Law. He is a recipient of both the Attorney General’s John Marshall Award for Litigation and the Attorney General’s Award for Fraud Prevention.
