OVERVIEW
Mandy’s practice focuses on holding powerful institutions to account in complex civil litigation matters involving antitrust, competition, privacy, and civil and human rights disputes. Mandy earned her J.D. from Duke University School of Law, where she was an academic writer and legal historical researcher, with a focus on the civil rights era, the pernicious conservative origins of the Chicago School Economics and its impact on the American antitrust doctrine, and race, poverty, and law. Additionally, Mandy externed as a judicial law clerk at the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia with the Honorable Royce C. Lamberth.
Before law school, Mandy worked for several years as a full-stack software engineer, programming mobile and web applications. She worked with several small tech start-ups, tackling diverse issues, such as food justice and sustainability, educational access, and animal welfare.
In 2023, Mandy was recognized in the Unconventional Award category, an award given to those persons who stand out from the pack by taking a different approach to litigation or problem-solving, one of five award categories that make up the Hausfeld Values Awards, an annual recognition program that highlights the achievements of Hausfeld team members based on their significant contributions made and results achieved over the prior calendar year.
Working towards a diverse, equitable, and inclusive world is paramount to Mandy who is an active member of our LGBTQ+ Alliance working group.

Experience
Antitrust/Competition
- In re LIBOR-Based Financial Instruments Antitrust Litigation – In which a certified class of purchasers of over-the-counter (OTC) financial instruments with interest payments tied to the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) are challenging the collusive manipulation of U.S. Dollar LIBOR by the world’s largest financial institutions. The collusion is claimed to have suppressed the U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate, which allowed the defendant banks to benefit financially to the detriment of their counterparties in OTC financial instruments such as swaps and bonds. The case has resulted in $590 million in settlements with four banks (Barclays, Citibank, HSBC, and Deutsche Bank), and continues against the remaining thirteen defendant banks.
- In Re: RealPage, Inc., Rental Software Antitrust Litigation – Hausfeld serves as co-lead counsel in the federal antitrust class action against RealPage, Inc. and several of their property management clients, alleging that the Defendants, some of the largest owners and managers of rental real estate in the United States, conspired to use RealPage’s so-called “revenue management” service to set rental prices and restrict the supply of available rental units in major metropolitan areas across the United States.
