Aaron Gott is one of the country's leading antitrust litigators, with a practice built on representing and advising companies in the most complex and high-stakes competition matters in the federal courts. He has served as lead counsel in dozens of antitrust cases—including several of the largest price-fixing class actions and multidistrict litigations in the country—and has appeared before the U.S. Supreme Court and argued appeals in courts of appeals across the nation.
Aaron's practice centers on companies facing antitrust class actions, government investigations, and competition-related business disputes. He has served as lead counsel for defendants in major price-fixing MDLs, including In re Turkey Antitrust Litigation, In re Disposable Contact Lens Antitrust Litigation, and In re Capacitors Antitrust Litigation, one of the most significant electronics price-fixing cases in recent memory.
Companies facing antitrust exposure turn to Aaron not only for his skill as an advocate, but for the strategic judgment he brings at every stage of a matter. From the moment an investigation is announced or a complaint is filed, through JPML consolidation, motions to dismiss, class certification, summary judgment, and—when necessary—trial and appeal, Aaron helps clients navigate the full arc of complex antitrust litigation with clarity and discipline. He is a skilled appellate advocate with a track record of wins at the circuit level and significant experience before the Supreme Court.
Aaron is also one of the nation's foremost authorities on antitrust federalism and the state-action immunity doctrine. He has litigated over a dozen antitrust cases against state agencies and local governments and argued state action immunity questions in numerous appeals, including landmark cases such as North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners v. FTC. His antitrust counseling practice helps companies manage competition risk before litigation arises — advising on compliance programs, pricing conduct, information-sharing arrangements, trade association participation, and distribution relationships.
As chief operating officer of Bona Law, Aaron has a firsthand understanding of how businesses actually operate under pressure. Managing the firm's operations alongside an active national litigation practice means Aaron understands the organizational, financial, and reputational challenges that businesses face.
Aaron's written work reflects the same precision and force he brings to litigation. His scholarship has been recognized as "meticulously researched and brilliantly argued," and his 2024 article on cartel economics was nominated for the Concurrences Antitrust Writing Awards. Before law school, Aaron served nearly a decade in the U.S. Army — including a combat deployment to Iraq — and worked as a professional writer and editor. He has been recognized by Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers as a leading antitrust litigator.
