RIDGEFIELD PARK, NJ – Seeger Weiss LLP today announced the addition of Jeremy R. Kasha to its growing national litigation team, who joins as Counsel in the New Jersey office – a continuation of Seeger Weiss’ building of a deep bench of legal talent to meet the evolving needs of complex, high-stakes litigation while drawing on those who have served in Big Law, federal court clerkships, and government service.
“Jeremy reflects the type of attorney we seek out and have been fortunate to attract – highly-skilled litigators who perform their craft at the highest levels,” said Christopher A. Seeger, founding partner. “He exemplifies the values that define our firm: purpose, rigor, and a deep commitment to justice.”
Kasha brings decades of experience in antitrust and complex litigation, most recently serving twenty years as an Assistant Attorney General in the Antitrust Bureau of the Office of the New York Attorney General. A five-time recipient of the Louis J. Lefkowitz Award for Superior Service, he was the designated lead trial counsel on major matters, including U.S. et al. v. Live Nation Entertainment & Ticketmaster and New York v. CVS, and he played significant roles in cases including the New York et al. v. T-Mobile/Sprint merger litigation, FTC et al. v. Vyera, and New York v. Actavis.
Kasha has worked closely with the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice Antitrust Division, and state attorneys general across the country. Prior to his public service, he gained significant experience in complex litigation at Shearman & Sterling and Proskauer Rose. Kasha served as a federal law clerk to Chief Judge Peter C. Dorsey in the District of Connecticut and was a two-time Harlan Fiske Stone scholar at Columbia Law School, where he concurrently earned his J.D. and a Certificate in International and Comparative Law from the Parker School of Foreign and Comparative Law. He is trilingual in English, French, and Spanish.
