Aron represents clients in a wide variety of disputes, including large contract disputes, product liability defense, class action defense, fraud and conspiracy cases, consumer fraud actions, construction litigation, professional malpractice defense (engineering), and toxic tort mass actions.
Aron’s practice focuses on complex civil litigation. He has represented clients in virtually all facets of litigation and alternative dispute resolution, including before arbitration tribunals, state and federal trial courts throughout the U.S., and various appellate courts. He also routinely assists clients with mediating or negotiating resolution of their disputes either before or after litigation is filed.
Aron has substantial experience in defending against putative nationwide class actions. He also has defended against complex product liability cases alleging that medical devices were defective, including negligence, strict liability, and wrongful death claims. Aron’s broad civil litigation experience includes prosecuting large fraud and civil conspiracy claims on behalf of businesses and individuals, post-closing indemnity disputes following the sales of businesses, cases seeking to invalidate non-competition provisions in contracts, asbestos cases against a leading engineering firm, and cases involving many other subject matters and industries.
Aron also devotes a significant portion of his time to pro bono representation. For instance, he has achieved successful results for a young mother wrongfully accused of child neglect, a woman with HIV and AIDS whose civil rights were violated, and a high school student with a learning disability. Aron and his colleagues were specially recognized by the Family Defense Center for their work on behalf of the young mother, which included a successful appeal to the Illinois Appellate Court.
Aron is an officer in Fredrikson & Byron’s Litigation Group. Prior to joining the firm, he was a partner with McDermott Will & Emery, an AmLaw 50 law firm, in Chicago.
