From October 1998 to June 2001, he served as an Assistant Director of the Bureau of Competition at the Federal Trade Commission, in charge of the Bureau’s Health Care Services and Products Division. The work of that Division focused on antitrust enforcement in the health care industry, including anticompetitive practices and mergers involving health care providers and payers, and anticompetitive conduct in the pharmaceutical industry.

Prior to his work at the FTC, he practiced at the Washington, D.C. firm of McKenna & Cuneo, LLP, where he served as Chairman of the Health Care Department and headed the firm’s Antitrust Practice Group. His practice involved not only antitrust counseling and litigation, but also substantial work relating to health care fraud issues. Mr. Feinstein has broad experience in complex litigation and has served as lead or co-lead counsel in a number of prominent cases, including, for example, FTC v. Mylan Laboratories.

Before initially entering private practice in 1985, Mr. Feinstein worked as a trial attorney in the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, and also served as Acting Deputy Director of the Division’s Office of Policy Planning and as Acting Assistant Chief of the Division’s Energy Section.
