Celesq® Presenters

Jarod Taylor represents clients in antitrust and other high-stakes, complex commercial litigation, arbitrations, and government investigations nationwide. He has represented clients in some of the largest litigations of the last few years, including multibillion-dollar, multidistrict class actions, and he has fought just as hard for individuals, including attorneys accused of malpractice and directors and officers whose careers were on the line in regulatory investigations. 

Recognized among Best Lawyers in America’s “Ones to Watch,” Jarod is equally at home in the courtroom and in the boardroom. Clients value his client-first approach—he understands his clients’ businesses, tailors litigation strategy to their business needs, and welcomes client input at every stage of the case. 

Jarod has particularly deep experience representing pharmaceutical companies and clients based outside of the United States, but has represented clients in industries as diverse as insurance, entertainment, and banking, in addition to representing law firms against legal malpractice claims. Those representations include headline-grabbing matters requiring public relations expertise, including representing Redbox in its contentious copyright dispute against the Walt Disney Company and the former President and CEO of the Queens Borough Public Library in litigation against the library and two of its trustees. His creative approach often prevails against the odds. For example, he has persuaded the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to issue a declination letter declining to bring an enforcement action against a publicly traded company’s chief financial officer, pointing to reliance on the company’s outside auditors and resulting in an action against the auditors rather than the CFO. 

Jarod also maintains an active pro bono practice and has helped a number of refugees obtain asylum.
