  • Regulatory Veteran

    Jamillia has held leadership positions and has overseen mergers at both the Antitrust Division of the DOJ and the FCC.

  • Antitrust Bar Involvement

    Jamillia is actively involved in shaping antitrust law discourse through her leadership roles in the Section of Antitrust Law of the American Bar Association, including the Council of the Antitrust Section.

Jamillia Ferris is a Chambers-ranked antitrust partner and co-chair of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati’s antitrust and competition practice. She is widely regarded as a trusted advisor and one of the most experienced antitrust attorneys in the U.S., representing companies across diverse industries in strategic transactions and civil conduct investigations before the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).  

Jamillia has provided antitrust representation to clients in an array of high-profile strategic transactions across various industries, including Run:AI in its sale to Nvidia, Silk Road Medical in its sale to Boston Scientific, Lumentum in its acquisition of NeoPhotonics, Credit Karma in its sale to Intuit, and Bungie in its sale to Sony. Her extensive expertise extends to defending against hostile takeovers, such as Qualcomm's defense against Broadcom’s bid, as well as handling numerous investigations into transactions, particularly in the retail and grocery industries. Throughout these matters, Jamillia’s strategic guidance has been critical in ensuring that her clients navigate the complexities of antitrust regulation while achieving their business goals.

Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business praised Jamillia for her ability “to quickly and accurately assess a situation and navigate the various personalities involved with ease” and described her as “very practical” and “calm, thoughtful, practical, and able to translate complicated issues in an easily understandable way to board members and executives.”

Prior to joining Wilson Sonsini, Jamillia served in various leadership positions and has overseen mergers at both the Antitrust Division of the DOJ and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). While at the DOJ, Jamillia served as chief of staff and counsel to the assistant attorney general of the Antitrust Division. In 2014, Jamillia was hired to lead the FCC’s review of AT&T’s proposed $49 billion acquisition of DIRECTV. In this role, she directed all aspects of the FCC’s investigation. She was also a member of the steering committee overseeing the FCC’s review of Comcast’s proposed $45 billion acquisition of Time Warner Cable.

Jamillia regularly presents to global audiences on the state of antitrust law and has served in ABA leadership positions for more than a decade, including serving on the Council of the Antitrust Section of the ABA. In addition, she has served on the board of the DC Volunteer Lawyers Project, which provides comprehensive legal services to victims of domestic violence, as well as on the Advisory Council of Lemonada Media.
