On March 13 at Terrace on the Green in Wallingford, Connecticut Bar Association Antitrust and Trade Regulation Section Chair Robert M. Langer was presented with the section’s first ever Lifetime Achievement Award. At the event, Attorney Langer was also presented with letters from five Connecticut Attorneys General, current Attorney General William Tong, and former Attorneys General George Jepsen, Senator Richard Blumenthal, Clarine Nardi Riddle and former Senator Joseph Lieberman.
Attorney Langer currently serves as senior counsel at Wiggin and Dana LLP in Hartford. He has spent over 50 years in practice, more than 20 of which were spent as assistant attorney general in charge of antitrust and consumer protection in Connecticut. He is co-author of the leading treatise on CUTPA and the Connecticut Antitrust Act and is also an antitrust professor at the University of Connecticut School of Law and Quinnipiac University School of Law. In addition to his current tenure as chair of the CBA Antitrust and Trade Regulation Section, Attorney Langer also served in the role of chair of the section earlier on in his career from 1979-1980.
“He is a litigator, counselor, enforcer, scholar, and friend who has never ceased to give back and contribute to the Connecticut Bar Association,” noted Antitrust and Trade Regulation Section Secretary Peter A. Barile III, who presented Attorney Langer with the award. “The Executive Committee of the section unanimously and enthusiastically supports honoring him with the first-ever CBA Antitrust and Trade Regulation Section Lifetime Achievement Award.”
