Alecks Lewis

Antitrust

Alecks has extensive experience in civil and criminal antitrust litigation and investigations at the state and federal level. During her time at the Department of Justice Antitrust Division, she worked on criminal investigations into price fixing, bid rigging and procurement fraud. In private practice, Alecks has represented plaintiffs and defendants in civil and criminal cases under the Sherman Act and state antitrust statutes, with a particular focus in the health care and technology markets. She was also part of the trial team that achieved acquittal on all counts for a former CEO, following the first-ever criminal no-poach market allocation jury trial brought by the Department of Justice. Alecks’ experience in government and private practice gives her a deeper understanding of the evolving and high stakes antitrust arena.

Complex Litigation

Alecks has represented individuals and corporations in complex litigation matters, with a focus on regulatory litigation. Her experience includes defending against False Claims Act and Anti-Kickback Statute health care litigation and land rights claims against a national telecom company, temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions in merger disputes, and defeating trade secret misappropriation claims against a technology company and its named employees. Alecks has played an active role in all aspects of complex litigation matters, including strategy, discovery, expert witnesses, briefing and dispositive motions.

Investigations

Alecks navigates complex legal frameworks to protect clients’ interests in a constantly evolving regulatory environment. She has represented companies in federal and state merger investigations and civil investigative demands and shepherded an individual client through an attorney proffer in a Department of Justice criminal fraud investigation. She also drafted stakeholder memorandums evaluating Colorado state constitutional challenges to legislation that altered the regulatory enforcement landscape for oil and gas operators. Her strategic approach and fluency in regulatory nuance help clients to mitigate regulatory risk.

Corporate Counseling

Alecks has counseled companies and their employees on regulatory compliance needs. Her experience includes advising C-suite executives on how to successfully implement corporate compliance programs to mitigate antitrust exposure, how to remain compliant with consent decrees after an antitrust violation has been found, and advising merging health care entities on how to comply with antitrust and privacy regulations during and post-transaction. Alecks’ comprehensive regulatory enforcement experience allows her to identify areas of risk and effectively counsel clients on best practices to mitigate exposure.

Personal Interests

Outside of work, Alecks can be found snowboarding (usually at Copper Mountain), spinning tech-house tunes as an amateur DJ, and spending time with loved ones and her pets.
