Rachel Adcox
With an impressive track record leading complex, high-profile antitrust litigation for Fortune 100 companies, Rachel has a reputation for being strategic, confident, and results-driven. Clients rely on her skill, judgment, “instinct for what will work,” and “clear, reasoned, and confident” advice. Clients and peers tout her as “a master strategist,” “an outstanding litigator,” “super smart, incredibly pragmatic and practical,” and “the best of the best.”
Rachel’s legal accolades include being ranked by Chambers USA as an Antitrust Litigation Specialist, by Legal 500 as a Leading Lawyer, and by the National Law Journal as a Litigation Trailblazer. Global Competition Review recognized Rachel multiple times with Lawyer of the Year, Litigator of the Year, and Matter of the Year nominations, and celebrated her leadership and influence by including her on their prestigious list of Women in Antitrust.
Rachel is also a proven leader and business developer. In less than 15 years at her prior law firm, she blazed through the associate ranks to equity partnership, served for six years as the first female member of the firm’s three-person executive committee, spearheaded the exponential growth of the firm’s antitrust litigation and cartel practices, and built and led a 40-attorney case team in numerous high-stakes matters.
Nevertheless, “The true driver of Rachel’s professional success is not just the quality of her work. It is her personal integrity, professional generosity, commitment to service leadership, and view that a true leader’s highest calling is to empower the people around her.” Throughout her career, Rachel has counseled dozens of individual attorneys on finding their path to professional success, tapping her own experience in skill development, team building, profile enhancement, self-advocacy, networking, business development and negotiation. Her long-form article Rethinking the Partnership Model to Foster Inclusion (ABA Law Practice Today) also dared to reimagine the role and composition of law firm partnerships, tackling many of the institutional practices that have long been barriers to the advancement of women and other diverse attorneys.
