Bonnie Lau and Brent Snyder Honored Among Daily Journal's 2025 Top Antitrust Lawyers

News Articles
November 26, 2025

On November 26, 2025, Wilson Sonsini antitrust partners Bonnie Lau and Brent Snyder were named among Daily Journal’s "Top Antitrust Lawyers 2025." This special supplement honors attorneys who navigate monopolization claims, price-fixing allegations, and complex merger reviews that reshape markets and protect competition.

Bonnie has specialized in antitrust litigation for nearly 20 years, representing clients in cases that involve complex market dynamics and significant financial exposure. In the accompanying profile, Bonnie highlights her recent representation of a Japanese technology client in a class action tried twice due to COVID-19 and another matter in which she served as lead counsel for Cedar AI in bringing antitrust counterclaims against RMI, a dominant provider for Transportation Management Systems in the U.S. market.

Bonnie also led a team that secured a $15.5 million judgment for pro bono clients in a human rights case under the Torture Victim Protection Act. This case had presented personal obstacles which forced the team to seek a mid-trial emergency protective order. “The experience reaffirmed for me the power of advocacy to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives,” said Bonnie.

Over 32 years, Brent Snyder has built a career focused on criminal antitrust defense. In his profile, Brent credits mentors who gave him early courtroom experience and taught him the balance between advocacy and candor. His practice is centered on defending companies and individuals in criminal antitrust investigations with the utmost importance on keeping the matters confidential. Brent has recently observed that individual accountability has become a higher priority in antitrust enforcement, with companies gaining more opportunities to avoid conviction through deferred prosecution agreements or declinations.

“There are fewer significant investigations involving old-fashioned, ‘smoke-filled room’ cartel behavior,” he said. “Instead, the investigations have increasing involved new theories, new technologies, and more nuanced conduct. This has resulted in more defendants being willing to defend cases and the antitrust enforcers obtaining less cooperation than in the past.”
