George El-Khoury

George El-Khoury represents plaintiffs and defendants in high-stakes litigation nationwide. His practice spans a broad range of complex commercial disputes, including patent, defamation, breach of contract, oil and gas, and qui tam matters. Throughout his career, he has played a leading role in every stage of litigation, taking and defending key depositions, arguing significant motions, and securing appellate victories.

Among his notable matters, George represented real estate-focused video company WellcomeMat, LLC, in a patent dispute against Aylo (formerly MindGeek). He took and defended critical depositions, authored key briefing, and argued discovery, evidentiary, and claim construction disputes. He also played a central role in defeating Aylo’s last-minute mandamus petition seeking to stay trial less than a month before jury selection. After the Federal Circuit denied the petition, the parties reached a confidential settlement.

George also serves as counsel to Dominion Voting Systems in its defamation action against Newsmax in the Delaware Superior Court. In this matter, he took depositions, briefed dispositive issues, and successfully argued evidentiary motions before the case resolved in a $67 million settlement for Dominion.

He currently represents an inventor’s company in patent litigation involving innovative mechanical closure devices developed in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy to help protect critical infrastructure from catastrophic flooding. George also represents a putative class of home sellers in antitrust litigation challenging allegedly anticompetitive residential broker commissions. Most recently, he helped defeat Berkshire Hathaway’s motion for summary judgment in the case. Read more about the case and that win in Law360, Reuters, and BloombergLaw.

He also participated in Cornell’s First Amendment Clinic, helping draft amicus curiae briefs for the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit addressing FOIA Exemptions 4 and 7(C). He earned his undergraduate degree, cum laude, from Goucher College, where he majored in economics, minored in political science, and competed as a Division III soccer player
