Mark Ryan, 65, a partner in the Washington office of the Mayer Brown law firm and a leader in its global antitrust and competition practice, died Nov. 30 at a medical center in Lewes, Del. The cause was complications following heart surgery, said Stacey Berkowitz, a spokeswoman for the law firm.

Mr. Ryan, a resident of Chevy Chase, Md., was born in Batavia, N.Y. In 1981 he joined the legal staff of Mayer Brown’s Washington office, where he later became managing partner. From 2012 until 2015, he was director of litigation for the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division, then returned to the firm. He was a coach of boys and girls athletic teams at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Washington. (Source: Washington Post)
