He has also managed multinational merger filings in numerous transactions. He has defended a wide variety of antitrust claims in litigation, including Sherman Act monopolization and conspiracy claims involving alleged price fixing, market allocation, tying, “bundled discounts,” “aftermarket” parts and services, theft of trade secrets, defamation, other business torts and other alleged anticompetitive conduct. He also defends governmental challenges to acquisitions under Section 7 of the Clayton Act. He has handled antitrust issues in scores of different industries. He has a particularly strong background in several industry-based representations covering multiple matters, including aerospace and defense, pharmaceuticals / biologic products, medical devices, construction products, and consumer products such as beer and beverage alcohol.</p></div> <h3 class="distinction">Distinctions</h3> <div class="crayon contact-bio-2571 texte bio"><p><a href="http://awa2018.concurrences.com/articles-awards/business-articles-awards/" class="spip_out" rel="external">Nominee, 2018 Antitrust Writing Awards: Business, Concerted Practices</a></p> <p><a href="http://awa2012.concurrences.com/business/" class="spip_out" rel="external">Nominee, 2012 Antitrust Writing Awards: Business, Mergers</a></p> <div class="spip_document_40815 spip_document spip_documents spip_document_image spip_documents_left spip_document_left"> <figure class="spip_doc_inner"> <img src="https://www.concurrences.com/IMG/png/nom-2018.png?40815/cc4d429f07582822c46d80f2293b9265d7e3a481dfea835f61759ce8cbc61935" width="100" height="70" alt=""> </figure> </div></div> <div class="p"> <a href="//en/authors/jon-b-dubrow#contact" class="btn btn-contact btn-contact-rwd btn-primary-border popin pull-left" data-href-popin="#contact">Contact</a> <div class="social-links social-links-rwd pull-right"> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-dubrow-8354148/"> Linkedin</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-3 col-aside"> <div class="liste auteurs co-auteurs"> <h2>Linked authors</h2> <div class="liste-items liste-items-well"> <div class='ajaxbloc' data-ajax-env='1+VzRhK9u1HrMPQCK8EiHzrplzNaVgZRV00476ghAvceYxNxwjknSnp8B3/LsM/QN3fvuHmIQTyN7wBLnrC5/FpZKO2UIoJkk65hjctEOzIiPvMl2RO6kTATmSeQe9sBjO6/+EIj1rn2XL50K7hskxdABA4CEj/xddCk8oTrpcSRc5xqBeRbFPljmFsg5sbuHkEJmaAi1FtvU4Mw1vA25K1GzxM3suGUzqmPX6K8dWIxa5Qt6xj0oZjqkvs7s8qs177VvnxLWPM=' data-origin="//en/authors/jon-b-dubrow"> <div class="item"><div class="entry auteur" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"> <strong class="entry-title"> <a href="en/auteurs/matthieu-adam" itemprop="url"> <span class='logo-img-wrapper spip_logo' style="width:35px;"><span class="img" style="display:block;position:relative;height:0;width:100%;padding-bottom:88.57%;overflow:hidden;background:url(local/cache-vignettes/L70xH61/auton11390-69f85.png?1711359269) no-repeat center;background-size:100%;"> </span></span> <span itemprop="name" class="nom">Matthieu Adam</span></a> </strong> <div class="entry-content"> <span class='organisation' itemprop="worksFor" itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization">McDermott Will & Emery (Paris)</span> </div> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="pays">France</span> <span class="articles"><em>1</em> contribution</span> <span class="visites"><em>1446</em> visits</span> </div> </div></div> <div class="item"><div class="entry auteur" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"> <strong class="entry-title"> <a href="en/auteurs/julian-l-andre" itemprop="url"> <span class='logo-img-wrapper spip_logo' style="width:35px;"><span class="img" style="display:block;position:relative;height:0;width:100%;padding-bottom:100%;overflow:hidden;background:url(local/cache-vignettes/L70xH70/auton136044-76a6b.jpg?1711359269) no-repeat center;background-size:100%;"> </span></span> <span itemprop="name" class="nom">Julian L.
