About Joshua
Joshua Davis built his legal foundation at Brown University before earning a J.D. from New York University School of Law and an LL.M. from Georgetown University Law Center. Those credentials set a path that has crossed both classrooms and courtrooms, and that path has followed a steady course through academics and private practice.
Early in his career he moved into academic administration and teaching. In 2000 he became Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the University of San Francisco and took on a professorship while serving as Executive Director of the Center for Law and Ethics at the USF School of Law. That period marked a shift into issues at the intersection of professional responsibility and litigation practice.
In 2021 he assumed a research professorship at U.C. College of the Law San Francisco. The same year he joined Berger Montague as a shareholder. Those moves reflect a practice that runs alongside ongoing scholarship. He has balanced classroom responsibilities, research projects and the demands of complex civil litigation.
His work covers antitrust law, class actions and legal ethics. He has a steady presence in organizations that shape policy and professional standards. He is a member of the American Antitrust Institute and serves as a panelist for the American Bar Association’s National Class Action Institute on questions of class action ethics. He also chairs the Policy Task Force for the Committee to Support Antitrust Laws (COSAL), a role that places him at the center of conversations about enforcement and legislation.
Colleagues describe him as an academic who frequently re-enters practice to test ideas against real cases. His scholarship informs how he approaches litigation strategy, and his courtroom experience feeds back into classroom discussions. He has taught courses that examine both doctrinal law and the ethical obligations of lawyers, and he has overseen programs aimed at bridging law school work and public policy.
He splits his time between Berger Montague and UC Law San Francisco. He continues to teach, write and take on litigation matters that raise both substantive antitrust questions and ethical issues for practitioners. His current practice centers on antitrust law, class actions and legal ethics.
