Luke Hasskamp is a partner at Bona Law PC, where he focuses on antitrust litigation, class action defense, healthcare and pharmaceutical litigation, and complex business disputes. He has litigated in federal and state courts, administrative proceedings, and arbitration, handling matters across the full arc—from early dispositive motions through discovery, trial, and appeal.

Luke’s antitrust practice spans both sides of the docket. On the plaintiff side, he has argued Sherman Act monopolization appeals, litigated group boycott and conspiracy-to- monopolize claims, and represented clients facing exclusionary conduct by dominant firms and monopsonists. On the defense side, he has defended clients against class action antitrust claims in class action and multi-district litigation and complex commercial matters.

Luke has significant federal and state appellate experience, having briefed and argued matters before the Second, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits, as well as the California and Minnesota Courts of Appeal.

Before entering private practice, Luke clerked for three federal judges: Judge Kermit E. Bye of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, Judge Manuel L. Real of the Central District of California, and Judge Robert G. James of the Western District of Louisiana. He brings that judicial perspective to every matter — with a disciplined focus on the facts and legal issues that actually move the needle, from the earliest stages of litigation.

Prior to joining Bona Law, Luke practiced at Kanner & Whiteley in New Orleans and Robins Kaplan in Minneapolis.

He has also served as a legal consultant to CBS’s show NCIS, advising on federal court procedure for a 2026 episode.
