Practice Profile: As a member of Jones Day's Issues & Appeals group, Rajeev Muttreja's practice focuses on appellate litigation, motion practice, other law-oriented pretrial work, and client counseling, all typically involving complex or unsettled legal issues. Mr. Muttreja has extensive experience defending False Claims Act cases, particularly within the health care industry, but is a generalist who also has significant experience with issues of federal jurisdiction, RICO, class actions, corporate governance, securities law, administrative law, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Among his notable representations, Mr. Muttreja has played a leading role in Celgene's defense of False Claims Act and RICO lawsuits alleging the promotion of off-label pharmaceutical uses, and he was a key member of the team that won the landmark personal-jurisdiction case Goodyear Dunlop Tires Operations v. Brown, 131 S. Ct. 2846 (2011).
Leadership, Pro Bono and Civic Work: Mr. Muttreja maintains an active pro bono practice, including as an appointed member of the Second Circuit's pro bono panel. He recently argued and won Williams v. Annucci, 895 F.3d 180 (2d Cir. 2018), which concerned a New York prisoner's right to receive a kosher diet compliant with his religious beliefs. He was praised by name for his "well-stated arguments" in Bruce v. Warden Lewisburg USP, 868 F.3d 170 (3d Cir. 2017), a pro bono habeas appeal. Mr. Muttreja has done extensive immigration-related work, as well, including with the National Immigrant Justice Center. His current pro bono representations include serving on behalf of a Brooklyn man in a dispute over his citizenship status, a Honduran child seeking immigration status (in affiliation with Kids in Need of Defense (KIND)), and a California prisoner in a § 1983 appeal.
