Greg Melus is a D.C.-area litigator with experience in both federal and state courts, representing clients in business disputes, complex contracts, corporate and real property matters, employment disputes, professional malpractice, and fiduciary litigation involving wills, estates, and trusts.
His commercial litigation background gives him a practical understanding of complex disputes that goes beyond the legal arguments. He has earned notable recognition for his advocacy, including an amicus brief cited by the U.S. Supreme Court in US v. Arthrex, Inc. (2021).

That foundation included meaningful experience in insurance defense, criminal defense, federal employment law, trademark and copyright matters, and civil litigation.
Greg earned his J.D. from American University, Washington College of Law. He has published academic work on trademark and copyright law, including a first-place paper at an academic conference published in the 2015 AIPLA journal. He is also a former Legislative Fellow for the U.S. House Judiciary Committee.
