Allan is recognized nationally and internationally in the Best Lawyers in the United States, Euromoney’s Guide to the World’s Leading Competition and Antitrust Lawyers, and The International Who’s Who of Competition Lawyers.

At the request of the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission, he has served as a U.S. delegate to the annual conferences of the International Competition Network and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
