Glenn B. Manishin

Mr. Manishin's core competence is in antitrust law, in which he has practiced since working at the Justice Department's Antitrust Division in connection with the AT&T divestiture. Among other things, he authored the influential February 1999 white paper by the Software & Information Industry Association proposing a divestiture remedy in the United States v. Microsoft antitrust case, and served as counsel for the Project to Promote Competition and Innovation in the Digital Age (ProComp) and the Computer & Communications Industry Association in connection with the government's prosecution and appeals. He has also has participated in virtually all of the most important regulatory, judicial and legislative proceedings affecting telecommunications and the Internet for the past two decades. For instance, he was one of a handful of lawyers selected by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in St. Louis to present oral argument in Iowa Utilities Board v. FCC, the first federal appeal of the FCC's local competition rules implementing the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Mr. Manishin's clients have over the years comprised a veritable who's who roster of the IT industry leadership, including MCI, Netscape, Oracle, Google, Excite@Home, RIAA, Tellme, Echelon, EMusic, Travelocity, Winstar, Siebel, Sling Media and others.

Admitted to practice in the District of Columbia, Virginia and California, Mr. Manishin is a 1981 graduate of Columbia Law School, where he was notes and comments editor of the Columbia Law Review, and a cum laude graduate of Brandeis University.
