Profile

Stephen Feldman concentrates his practice in complex business disputes, antitrust and appeals. He partners with businesses on critical legal matters, and his approach emphasizes teamwork, efficiency, creative thinking and attention to detail. Stephen co-chairs the firm’s Antitrust & Competition Practice Group.
