Kristen W. Broz

Kristen has successfully litigated cases with hundreds of millions of dollars in damages at stake, including at trial. In her antitrust practice, she has significant experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants, providing her unique insights into litigation strategy. She has litigated novel issues under the state action doctrine, emerging enforcement actions in labor and competition, monopolization claims in the tech industry, and cases at the intersection of antitrust and intellectual property law, including alleged abuse of the patent process, “pay-for-delay.” She routinely advises government contractors regarding antitrust and competition in government procurements.

In her consumer protection practice, Kristen represents clients involved in class action litigation and government investigations regarding unfair and deceptive acts and practices, unfair competition, fraud, Lanham Act, and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) claims. She also represents clients involved in data incident litigation and advises clients regarding compliance with cybersecurity and data privacy regulations. Kristen has also litigated trademark, misappropriation of trade secrets, and patent claims in federal court and before the International Trade Commission.

Kristen serves as an adjunct professor at the University of Virginia and Capitol Technology University, where she teaches courses on legal and ethical issues in cybersecurity, competition, and information assurance.
