Position

Dylan is a trial lawyer who focuses on litigating antitrust and competition cases arising under the federal Sherman and Clayton Acts, as well as state antitrust, consumer protection, and unfair competition statutes. He has more than a decade of experience successfully resolving every variety of antitrust and competition matter, from government investigations, to criminal prosecutions and government enforcement actions against businesses and individuals, to class actions and other private civil actions. His practice encompasses matters civil and criminal, state and federal, before both trial and appellate courts, as well as various international arbitration tribunals. He also routinely counsels businesses on antitrust risks and best practices for avoiding them.

Dylan has served as counsel in some of the largest and most complex antitrust cases of all time. He has successfully represented key defendants in major government cartel investigations, federal criminal prosecutions, state Attorney General actions, and multi-district class actions involving dealer management software, canned tuna, DRAM, SRAM, and flash memory chips, automotive parts, LCD panels, cathode ray tubes, lithium-ion batteries, and many other industries. He frequently represents companies, as both plaintiffs and defendants, in lawsuits brought by competitors or customers alleging conspiratorial conduct or unlawful monopolization.

Dylan also has extensive experience in the area of overlap between antitrust and intellectual property laws, including cutting-edge antitrust and competition issues arising from the use and licensing of standard-essential patents. His work often involves international issues requiring close collaboration with clients and counsel located around the world.
