Marc Goldman

Marc Goldman is a commercial litigator with more than 25 years of experience handling complex disputes in federal and state courts. A graduate of Harvard Law School, where he served as a Supervising Editor of the Harvard Law Review, Marc practiced at Jenner & Block from 1994 through February 2015 and became an equity partner in 2002.

Marc’s practice spans a wide range of high-stakes commercial matters, including securities, contract, patent, attorney malpractice, and constitutional disputes, in both individual actions and class proceedings. He has particular experience at the intersection of competition and technology. He advises a major financial institution on issues involving data aggregators and the potential antitrust exposure of technology companies, and previously litigated competition issues arising under the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

He has also represented clients in regulatory proceedings and related litigation across telecommunications, securities, and energy. His work includes agency enforcement actions, challenges to rulemakings, and disputes between commercial actors operating within complex regulatory regimes. He served as national counsel to a major telecommunications carrier in more than a dozen high-stakes matters involving regulatory arbitrage schemes, litigating before the FCC, federal district courts, and courts of appeals, with each matter resulting in dismissal or favorable resolution.

Marc maintains an active appellate practice and has filed more than fifteen briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court. In 2020, he secured a Supreme Court victory for a client challenging the federal government’s refusal to make “risk corridor” payments to insurers participating in the Affordable Care Act exchanges. His current matters include a Tenth Circuit appeal involving trademark rights and representation of a national drug distributor challenging a state opioid statute.

Marc is also committed to pro bono work. He currently represents two unions in litigation defending antidiscrimination regulations applicable to government contractors. His prior pro bono matters include class actions on behalf of public housing residents that resulted in significant consent decrees, a habeas matter involving a Guantanamo detainee that helped lead to a favorable plea agreement, and a successful challenge to a voter purge in Florida on behalf of a coalition of nonprofit organizations and individual voters.
