Voters selected In re: Rail Freight Fuel Surcharge Antitrust Litigation, in which Jones Day represents Union Pacific Railroad Company, as the winner of the Litigation of the Year – Cartel Defense category at Global Competition Review's 2026 GCR Awards.

Jones Day successfully represented Union Pacific, obtaining summary judgment on June 27, 2025.
