Litigation
Jason D. Russell is a partner at Davis Polk who leads the firm’s Los Angeles office. Russell was previously a partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP specializing in high-stakes bet-the-company litigation. He secured a complete dismissal of all RICO and VPPA claims for Fenix International Limited while establishing significant federal precedent regarding AI-generated filings.
This success extends to a landmark Federal Circuit victory for Tower Semiconductor that clarified the interplay between California’s Anti-SLAPP statute and federal appellate jurisdiction. Leveraging this record of advocacy Russell currently represents Deel Inc. in a high-profile trade secret dispute involving cross-border corporate espionage allegations. His strategic command of ERISA preemption allowed Airlines for America to seek monetary relief for members for the first time on an associational basis.
