Michael M. Buchman is an attorney at Saveri Law Firm, LLP, located in New York City, New York, where he focuses his practice on antitrust, class action and consumer protection litigation. With decades of experience, he has built a reputation for representing plaintiffs in complex, high-stakes antitrust matters, particularly those involving large class actions and allegations of market manipulation.
Over the course of his career, Mr. Buchman has played a significant role in some of the most consequential antitrust cases in the history of the Sherman Act. He was involved in In re NASDAQ Market-Makers Antitrust Litigation, which resulted in a $1.027 billion settlement, and In re Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount Antitrust Litigation, which led to a $5.5 billion settlement. In the latter case, he represented the largest class representative retailer plaintiff.
In 2025, Mr. Buchman helped secure a $198.4 million settlement in In re Xyrem (Sodium Oxybate) Antitrust Litigation, one of the largest end-payor generic drug reverse payment cases in recent decades. He has also been selected twice as co-chair of HarrisMartin’s Antitrust Pay-For-Delay Litigation Conference.
Mr. Buchman earned his Bachelor of Arts degree, graduating cum laude, from Alfred University in 1988. He received his Juris Doctor from The John Marshall Law School in 1992, followed by a master’s degree in international antitrust and trade law from Fordham University School of Law in 1993.
Licensed to practice in the states of Connecticut and New York, Mr. Buchman is also authorized to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States and multiple federal courts, including the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the 2nd and 8th Circuits. He remains active in his community and has served on the Flood and Erosion Committee for the Town of Westport, Connecticut, and provides pro bono counsel in a long-running case involving Bayside Cemetery in Queens, New York.
