Julian Manasse-Boetani is an associate in Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher’s San Francisco office. He practices in the firm’s Litigation Department, with a focus on antitrust and patent issues.
Julian earned his law degree, with honors and pro bono honors, from the University of Chicago Law School in 2023. As a member of the Abrams Environmental Law Clinic he represented Michigan community organizations in state energy regulatory proceedings, seeking increased community solar, grid investment in low-income and BIPOC communities, reduced fossil fuel usage, and other environmental justice goals. During his B.A. in economics, received with honors from the University of Chicago, he completed a year of graduate-level microeconomics coursework and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa.
Immediately before law school Julian worked in the Oakland office of an economic consulting firm for four years, primarily supporting the testimony of professors Carl Shapiro and Fiona Scott Morton in antitrust litigation and regulatory proceedings. While in that role he was part of the trial team that supported Professor Shapiro’s testimony in Steves & Sons, Inc. v. JELD-WEN, Inc., the first private antitrust litigation in which a court has ordered a divestiture remedy. He also worked closely on matters involving fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) licensing rates for standard essential patents, matters involving allegedly exclusionary discounting and/or bundling, and a vertical merger clearance matter before the FTC.
Julian is admitted to practice law in California.
