Jack counsels clients across a broad spectrum of issues including: antitrust litigation, software licensing disputes, patent and trademark litigation, commercial real estate disputes, dealer termination litigation and other forms of general contract and business tort disputes.
Although his practice extends to a variety of commercial and business litigation, the primary focus of Jack’s practice is antitrust litigation and counsel. He has counseled manufacturers, distributors, petroleum companies, telecommunications companies, transportation companies, health care providers and trade associations on a wide range of antitrust and trade regulation issues in the context of both private civil litigation and administrative enforcement. Although the major focus of his antitrust practice involves litigation, he also provides proactive antitrust advice directed toward finding solutions that support the client’s strategic business objectives and competitive goals, while fully meeting applicable federal and state antitrust requirements.
Jack is a seasoned litigator at both the trial and appellate levels. In addition, he has extensive experience in representing clients in various forms of alternative dispute resolution, including private mediation and commercial arbitration before the American Arbitration Association.
Jack has been with Miles & Stockbridge his entire career. Since coming to the firm as an associate in 1991, he has developed his practice to provide litigation support for the firm’s transactional and corporate practices. As a result, he works closely with and draws from the expertise of the firm’s highly qualified business lawyers in handling the litigation needs of the firm’s clients.

Miles & Stockbridge provides comprehensive antitrust counsel to our business clients, routinely advising on a wide range of monopolization and trade regulation issues affecting myriad industries across the business spectrum.
Our antitrust lawyers work in close partnership with business lawyer colleagues—from the planning stages of transactional and strategic initiatives to anticipating and avoiding antitrust problems. When antitrust controversies do arise, we vigorously litigate in federal and state courts, and are equally skilled in representing our clients in administrative inquiries and hearings before federal and state antitrust enforcement agencies.
The foundation of our antitrust counsel lies in our cultivation of a thorough understanding of our clients’ business operations—their markets, competitors, distribution and sales channels, pricing and other business strategies. We interact regularly with clients’ sales, marketing, accounting and financial personnel to understand what our clients do, and why and how they do it. Our antitrust lawyers work with a wide array of businesses in different industries, including health care, telecommunications, transportation, oil and gas, and diverse manufacturing, distribution and retailing corporate entities.
While at all times prepared to act as vigorous advocates for our clients at trial and in administrative hearings, Miles & Stockbridge antitrust lawyers also proactively advise clients in ways to avoid antitrust problems in the first place. As knowledgeable business counselors and seasoned litigators, the firm offers effective antitrust advice as part of an integrated approach to corporate counseling that is tailored to each client’s requirements for success.
We work across the country and around the world and have a network of law firms with whom we partner. Some of these are fellow members of TerraLex, a formal international law firm network, and others have arisen out of close working relationships that have developed over many years.
Miles & Stockbridge has consistently received high marks as an overall place to work in The American Lawyer Surveys of Midlevel and Summer Associates and has ranked among the Top 100 Law Firms for Diversity and for Women.
