Jay R. Wexler

Jay Wexler is an associate in DiCello Levitt’s Antitrust and Competition Practice Group in New York. He represents individuals and businesses harmed by anticompetitive practices, using private litigation to hold powerful actors accountable.

Jay brings passion, creativity, and nearly a decade of experience investigating and litigating complex commercial and class action matters in venues across the country. Clients turn to Jay for his deep understanding of federal and state antitrust violations such as monopolization, monopoly leveraging, price fixing, wage fixing, no-poach agreements, illegal information exchanges, group boycotts, exclusive dealing, unfair competition, and tying. Jay litigates against companies and trade associations across a variety of industries, including consumer products, emerging technologies, securities, telecommunications, and sports.

Before joining DiCello Levitt, Jay clerked for the Honorable Anne M. Nardacci, U.S. District Judge for the Northern District of New York. Jay previously served as a trial attorney for a federal agency, where he prosecuted individuals and businesses for violating laws, regulations, or the terms of government agreements. He also worked as a litigation associate in the top-tier antitrust group of an international law firm, representing both plaintiffs and defendants—particularly in sports and technology cases involving employment or intellectual property issues. With the benefit of these experiences, Jay is well-acquainted with all aspects of federal litigation, from investigation through class certification, dispositive briefing, fact and expert discovery, evidentiary disputes, and ultimately trial and appeal.

Jay earned his law degree from Cornell Law School, where he was an articles editor for the Journal of Law and Public Policy and an administrative law research assistant. During law school, Jay also worked at a nonpartisan think tank where he researched and litigated civil rights and elections matters. Jay earned his bachelor’s degree in industrial and labor relations from Cornell University, with minors in American law and society, German, and inequality studies.
