Board of Directors

Dana Foster, Board Member

Dana Foster is a partner in the Antitrust Group of White & Case. He has over 21 years of trial and appellate litigation experience, advising domestic and foreign clients in all aspects of complex civil and criminal matters, both at the federal and the state level.

Dana’s trial achievements include representing Anthem as trial counsel in an action related to the efforts by Cigna’s management to undermine Anthem's $54 billion acquisition of Cigna. He also successfully defended Toshiba at two separate trials—one brought by a direct purchaser class and another by an opt-out Fortune 500 company—involving price-fixing claims in the LCD industry.

Dana’s appellate victories include a rarely granted Rule 23(f) petition and a groundbreaking decision vacating class certification by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in the In re Asacol Antitrust Litigation, in which the First Circuit ended plaintiffs’ widespread use of post-trial affidavits to identify uninjured class members.

Pro bono has long been a prominent pillar of Dana’s practice beginning when he was a first-year associate drafting wills for clients experiencing poverty and representing clients in family court. He has argued before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and Dana regularly appears in the Domestic Relations branch of the DC Superior Court on behalf of both parents and children. In 2018, Dana was appointed the Pro Bono Partner for White & Case’s Washington, DC office.

In the summer of 2020, Dana co-founded White & Case’s Racial Justice Task Force, a coalition of over 160 attorneys and staff members across the Firm’s global network taking concrete action in the areas of criminal justice reform, education, and economic development. He works with clients and non-profits in the United States and Europe representing indigent defendants in criminal and civil matters, providing job training to refugees, and expanding the Firm’s urban debate presence to every US office, among many other initiatives.

Prior to joining White & Case, Dana served in the U.S. Navy as a Nuclear Electronics Technician aboard the Virginia-class nuclear guided missile cruiser USS Texas and the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise.

Dana graduated from the University of Virginia in 1999 with a degree in Economics, and he received his JD from the University of Virginia School of Law in 2002.

Dana is married to Chery Curtis—who he met at White & Case when they were both summer associates—and they have a 10-year-old daughter, Jade Foster.
