MoginRubin LLP Managing Partner and Co-Founder Dan Mogin will be recognized for his work in antitrust law in the 2025 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®. This will be the 31st edition of this highly regarded and longest running peer-reviewed publication in the legal industry.
This San Diego-based litigator is also a serial recipient of the “Lawyer of the Year” designation by The Best Lawyers in America® for his antitrust litigation work. Mogin was recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® 2024 edition for his work in Commercial Litigation, Antitrust Litigation, and Mass Tort and Class Action Litigation — all on behalf of plaintiffs. See his profile at BestLawyers.com.
“I appreciate this latest designation from the Best Lawyers® organization,” Mogin said. “While I was hoping to score an Oscar™ because that, at least, comes with a trophy, I will print it out and tape it to my fridge in addition to featuring it prominently and proudly at MoginRubin.com.”
“More cynical members of my team quipped that ‘We don’t need no stinking awards,’ a comment they made because they heard it in Blazing Saddles, despite that fact that it was first uttered in the 1948 film classic, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, which I had to explain was a ‘talkie”, possibly rolling my eyes.”
“All kidding aside, I still believe in our pro-competition laws. Proper enforcement — whether by government agencies or private plaintiffs — positively impacts everyone: consumers, workers, innovators, entrepreneurs, and companies of all sizes in all industries across the globe. Competition’s effects can be seen in obvious areas, such as consumer prices, consumer choice, and innovative new products and services, to areas not obvious to the public, such as privacy and national security.
Thanks to the Best Lawyers® organization for recognizing my work. And despite making fun of their cultural literacy, I thank all my valued colleagues at MoginRubin.
