For four decades, Roy T. Englert Jr. has been arguing high-stakes cases that address cutting-edge legal issues. Roy’s 21 arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court — covering such disparate issues of law as antitrust, bankruptcy, the False Claims Act, the Freedom of Information Act, civil RICO, employment discrimination, administrative law, Article III standing, separation of powers and the death penalty — have resulted in an exceptional record of 18 wins, two losses (one by an equally divided Court) and one split decision.
Roy has argued numerous multimillion-dollar and multibillion-dollar appeals, including two appeals resulting in reinstatement of more than $4.5 billion worth of avoidance claims brought by the Madoff trustee; cases resulting in recoveries totaling in the billions of dollars for clients; and cases relieving clients of liability valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Roy has particularly extensive antitrust appellate experience and has won a complete victory on the antitrust counts in every case he has ever argued in an appellate court, whether for a plaintiff, for a defendant, or for an amicus — most recently in July 2022, when the Tenth Circuit affirmed summary judgment for Roy’s client in a monopolization case between two large pharmaceutical companies.
Roy previously served in the Office of the Solicitor General for the U.S. Department of Justice. He has also served as an adjunct professor working with the Appellate Litigation Clinic at Georgetown Law for two decades and commits significant time to a number of law-reform and civic-education activities.
Roy has been involved in the Olympic sport of judo for decades and has served as the president of a well-established nonprofit judo organization. He has also served on the board of directors of an award-winning nonprofit theater company.
