Dave Rochelson has been a Partner at Garwin Gerstein & Fisher LLP since 2022.

For more than a decade, Mr. Rochelson has litigated large, complex antitrust actions on behalf of purchaser plaintiffs, competitor plaintiffs and defendants, with a focus on cartel and monopolization claims. He specializes in crafting unique liability theories, finding the right expert, taking testimony from key witnesses, and briefing and arguing the motions that make or break a case. He has repeatedly brought cases all the way to trial and works tirelessly to maximize the recovery for his clients.

Mr. Rochelson was selected as a Super Lawyer in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. He serves as Chair of the ABA Antitrust Section’s Joint Conduct Committee, and regularly speaks and publishes on antitrust and ethics issues. He served as Project Chair of the brand new Rule of Reason Handbook (February 2026) — the first Antitrust Section publication devoted solely to this essential topic in over 25 years, incorporating contributions from dozens of top practitioners in the field. He also edited Chapter 1, “Restraints of Trade,” in the Section’s forthcoming Tenth Edition of its keystone publication, Antitrust Law Developments. After graduating from law school, Mr. Rochelson clerked for the Honorable William H. Walls (D.N.J.).
