Robert Stander is an incisive appellate advocate whose goal is to help clients succeed. To that end, he develops successful litigation strategies and pursues those strategies through briefing and oral advocacy at every stage of a case. He has briefed and argued appeals and dispositive motions in numerous federal and state courts.
Robert's practice focuses on antitrust, complex civil litigation, and matters involving novel legal questions. His recent antitrust work includes defeating the Federal Trade Commission in litigation on an issue of first impression in any court — whether a merger that is immune from Section 7 of the Clayton Act under state action immunity is also exempt from the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. Robert has also recently defended a global pharmaceutical company against antitrust lawsuits alleging monopolization through bundled rebates and improper listing of patents in the Food and Drug Administration's Orange Book. In non-antitrust matters, Robert's recent work includes successfully defending a major airline against some of the first claims ever brought under the Helms-Burton Act, a novel statute purporting to authorize damages for commercial use of real property in Cuba that the Cuban government confiscated after the Revolution in 1959.
Prior to joining Jones Day, Robert served as a judicial clerk on the U.S. Supreme Court, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the Utah Supreme Court.
