Bonnie Lau is a partner in the San Francisco office of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. She represents clients in antitrust and related complex litigation involving claims of price-fixing, wage-fixing, no-poach conduct, output suppression, monopolization, refusal to deal, predatory pricing, and group boycott, as well as antitrust counterclaims in IP and patent matters.
