About the Fellowship
The Hollis Salzman Women’s Leadership Fellowship has been established by the New York State Bar Association’s Antitrust Section to honor the memory of Hollis Salzman (1965-2020). Hollis was a pre-eminent antitrust attorney and long-time member of the NYSBA Antitrust Section, serving on its Executive Committee, and as Secretary, Vice Chair, and finally Chair of the Section in 2020. Hollis’s leadership of, and many contributions to, the Antitrust Section helped it become a stronger, more vibrant, and more inclusive organization. In addition to her impressive professional career, Hollis is remembered as a leader who devoted significant time and energy to mentoring younger lawyers – particularly women lawyers. She campaigned for recognition of the accomplishments of women lawyers within law firms and other organizations and for women to hold leadership positions in significant litigations.
The Fellowship is designed to support and promote women antitrust lawyers who are in the mid-stage of their careers and seeking to move to the next level. This is an underserved group: while there are several opportunities and programs aimed at law students and very junior lawyers, limited resources and attention have been directed towards promoting women with several years of practice and supporting their advancement to a more senior level of the profession. This is the first program supported by the Antitrust Section that is aimed specifically at developing women in antitrust.
Fellowship Details
One Fellow will be selected bi-annually to attend a high-level leadership program aimed at developing and enabling women lawyers to move to the next level of their careers. For 2024, the Section has chosen the Harvard Law School’s Women’s Leadership Initiative, which has held a seat in its 2024 in-person program for our Fellow. The Fellowship will cover course fees for the program, which includes tuition, course materials, accommodations, and most meals.
The Fellow will be expected to provide input to the Section on the program, serve as a mentor in the Section’s mentoring program, and participate in Antitrust Section events and other activities.
Eligibility
Applications for the 2024 Fellowship are open to women lawyers (including individuals who consistently live and self-identify as women, regardless of their gender assignment at birth) practicing antitrust law in New York State in their 7th to 13th year of practice post law-school. More senior applicants may also be considered on a case-by-case basis. Applicants must also be members of the NYSBA Antitrust Section.
Application Process
Applicants must submit the following:
The Fellow will be selected by a committee formed by the Antitrust Section. Following review of applications and an interview with the Fellowship Committee, the winning Fellow will be notified in mid-December and will be recognized at the Antitrust Section’s Annual Meeting in January 2024. The Fellow will attend the Harvard Law School Women’s Leadership Initiative program on January 30-February 2, 2024.
Application Deadline
Applications must be submitted by Friday November 3, 2023. Applications must be submitted by email to: swoodall@nysba.org. Please include “Hollis Salzman Fellowship” in the subject line.
Further Information
For questions or further information about the program, please contact Barbara Hart at bhart@gelaw.com.

This newsletter is published by the four committees of the Antitrust Law Section: The Class Action Committee; the Vertical Restraints Committee; the Horizontal Restraints Committee, and the Merger Committee. The Antitrust Law Section formed the committees in early 2011 to expand the activities of the Section and to offer additional opportunities for Section members to participate in the Section’s activities. All members of the Antitrust Law Section are invited to join the committees.
The newsletter will be published several times throughout the year. Each edition will include brief summaries of recent decisions issued by New York courts and regulatory agencies that are relevant to antitrust law. Each newsletter will also include several longer thought pieces on a current antitrust law issue. Comments on the newsletter are welcome and should be submitted to the committee Chairs.
