Bradley Justus was recently named Global Competition Review “Lawyer of the Year – Under 40,” recognizing his exceptional advocacy in some of the most closely watched antitrust cases.

Bradley’s impressive track record includes serving as lead counsel for a Fortune 100 technology company and an Ivy League university in major antitrust litigations, and co-leading the Axinn teams defending Google and Tyson Foods in headline-making antitrust litigations. He helped Momenta Pharmaceuticals resolve a dispute over its generic blood thinner enoxaparin, achieving a favorable outcome following an earlier trial loss, prior to Axinn’s involvement.
Bradley also maintains a robust practice focused on securing antitrust clearances for major mergers. Notably, he was a lead advisor for The Dow Chemical Company’s $130 billion merger with DuPont — one of the largest and most complex merger reviews in history, requiring approvals in over 20 jurisdictions worldwide.
Bradley has been widely recognized for his exceptional work in complex antitrust matters. He was recently selected for Bloomberg Law’s “They’ve Got Next: The 40 Under 40” list, honoring the top forty lawyers nationwide under forty. He has been named a “Rising Star” by both Law360 and The National Law Journal, and this year he received Global Competition Review’s “Lawyer of the Year – Under 40” award, following a prior shortlisting in 2022. He is ranked in Chambers USA and The Legal 500, and was named to Benchmark Litigation’s “40 & Under” list in 2023, 2024, and 2025. In addition, Lawdragon recognizes him as a one of the “500 Leading Litigators in America” and a “Leading Global Competition & Antitrust Lawyer.”
