Kail Jethmalani represents clients across industries in all areas of antitrust law, including high-stakes litigation, domestic and cross-border mergers, and investigations.

Named a Rising Star by Minority Corporate Counsel Association in 2024, clients rely on Kail’s pragmatic approach to advancing cohesive defense strategies as coordinating counsel in multidistrict litigation. His recent litigation experience includes multiple treble-damage class actions and State Attorney General litigations alleging industrywide conspiracies to raise the prices of broiler chicken and pork, and to suppress compensation to broiler chicken farmers.

Kail served as Vice Chair of the American Bar Association Section of Antitrust Law’s Marketing Administrative Committee. His diverse pro bono practice includes helping immigrants obtain asylum in the U.S., representing a prison inmate in a civil rights case against government officials, and representing a class of restaurant workers to recover unpaid wages. He was one of only three attorneys named “most highly regarded” Future Leaders in Competition in North America by Who’s Who Legal in 2021 and 2022.

Prior to joining Axinn, Kail interned at the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York. He earned his JD from the University of Michigan Law School.
