Rule Garza Howley LLP Continues Expansion with Addition of Nate Harris and Aryeh Mellman
Rule Garza Howley LLP is growing to meet increased demand for sophisticated antitrust advice with the addition of two new attorneys: counsel Nathaniel (Nate) Harris and associate Aryeh Mellman.
“We are delighted to welcome Nate and Aryeh to the firm,” said Chair Rick Rule. “Nate already has established himself as a respected antitrust lawyer with years of experience at both the FTC and DOJ. As FTC Commissioner Holyoak’s Chief of Staff, he is well-connected to, and tremendously familiar with, the Trump Administration and its approach to antitrust enforcement. Together with Aryeh, an up-and-coming talent in the antitrust bar, the experience and insight of our new additions will further strengthen our ability to serve clients facing the most challenging competition and enforcement matters.”
Nate Harris brings substantial antitrust experience inside and outside of government. Harris served most recently as Chief of Staff and Attorney Advisor to Commissioner Melissa Holyoak at the Federal Trade Commission. Prior to his service with Commissioner Holyoak, Harris served as a Trial Attorney in the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice in the Healthcare and Consumer Products Section and as an associate at a large law firm. A graduate of the law school at George Mason University, he previously clerked for Judge Harris Hartz on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
Aryeh Mellman joins RGH as an Associate. Mellman’s experience focuses on antitrust litigation, including the defense of antitrust class actions and multidistrict litigation. A graduate of Columbia Law School, Mellman clerked for Judge Chad F. Kenney in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
“Nate and Aryeh bring significant experience and insight into antitrust enforcement practices that will be helpful to deliver positive outcomes for clients,” said managing partner Dan Howley. “They are terrific additions and I’m excited to welcome them to the team.”
