Summary
I graduated from law school in the mid-1990s with a concentration in intellectual property law. I was interested in the new economy; in technology; in legal change. After law school, I moved from the United States to Israel, where I started working in a leading law firm in Tel-Aviv. The law firm was as old school as could be, and so were many of its clients. I hoped to work on intellectual property cases, but – to my dismay – the law firm assigned me to work on antitrust cases. Antitrust was the antithesis of where I expected to start my career. I viewed it as the law of brick and mortar. Indeed, antitrust law grew regulating the old economy; railroad and oil companies dominate the classic antitrust court cases.1
