February 3, 2026 — Partner Josh Branson and the Kellogg Hansen team have been spotlighted in Law.com’s Litigator of the Week coverage for their work in long-running Antiterrorism Act litigation arising from terrorist attacks in Iraq. On January 23, 2026, the D.C. Circuit delivered a crucial victory for Gold Star Families and wounded veterans in an important Antiterrorism Act case concerning 2008-era Iraq.  Kellogg Hansen, along with co-counsel Sparacino PLLC, represents the families of nearly 400 Americans who were killed or wounded in Iraq; clients sued five major pharmaceutical and medical equipment companies for allegedly making corrupt payments to the terrorist group responsible for those attacks.  After the district court dismissed the claims, the D.C. Circuit reversed in full.  The next steps should be discovery, summary judgment, and trial. The American Lawyer previously recognized Josh as Litigator of the Week for this case in 2022, when the D.C. Circuit first reversed the dismissal of these claims. Kellogg Hansen has been leading the case since 2017.  During the course of the eight-years-and-counting litigation, more than 20 plaintiffs have died.  The Kellogg Hansen team includes David Frederick, Andrew Goldsmith, and Derek Reinbold. The case and this most recent appellate victory have also drawn attention from leading legal media, including coverage as Ruling of the Week in Original Jurisdiction\'s Judicial Notice and recognition in Law360’s Legal Lions feature. Kellogg Hansen is honored to continue representing the families of Americans injured or killed by terrorist attacks. Atchley v. AstraZeneca UK Ltd., No. 20-7077 (D.C. Cir. Jan. 23, 2026)..

June 12, 2024 – Kellogg Hansen partner John Thorne and associate Derek Reinbold recently authored the U.S. chapter for Global Competition Review’s inaugural Data & Antitrust Guide. The chapter details how U.S. antitrust enforcers and courts view uses and abuses of data. It begins by discussing data’s role in monopolization cases such as the high-profile actions against Google, Facebook, and Amazon. It next addresses how enforcers treat mergers in which the merging parties maintain competitively valuable – or competitively sensitive – data. It then turns to issues of collusion, particularly how enforcers view new technologies such as artificial intelligence in cases involving information exchanges or alleged price-fixing. The chapter concludes with a discussion of how data privacy has emerged as a new metric of market power, an element of competitive harm, and potential procompetitive justification for otherwise anticompetitive conduct. John Thorne represents technology companies, media firms, newspaper publishers, financial services providers, app developers, and consumer products companies in antitrust, intellectual property, and other commercial litigation. Derek Reinbold represents plaintiffs and defendants in civil litigation at the trial and appellate levels.  He litigates cases involving complex issues of personal jurisdiction, preemption, class certification, and other matters. ..
