Kail Jethmalani, Esq.

Kail Jethmalani counsels clients in all areas of antitrust and competition law, including high-stakes litigation, strategic M&A, sensitive government and internal investigations, and corporate counselling.

Kail currently represents Tyson Foods in its defense of three major treble-damage class action litigations, alleging industry-wide conspiracies to raise the prices of broiler chickens, to suppress compensation paid to poultry growers, and to raise the prices of pork products. He also represents Independence Blue Cross in the largest antitrust class action in US history.

Kail was on the Axinn team nominated in 2018 for Global Competition Review’s Litigation of the Year – Cartel Defense Award for its work on behalf of Nishikawa Rubber Company in the auto parts litigation.
