We Win Cases
We have successfully represented major companies around the world and obtained winning results in a wide variety of industries. A few of our most notable successes include:
- Obtaining a judgment in our client’s favor of $25.5 million after several years of hotly contested litigation in a contract and fraud dispute, arising from our client’s $2 billion purchase of a mortgage business.
- Winning a dismissal with prejudice of a complex putative class action brought against our client by a trustee and noteholders alleging breach of fiduciary duties, negligence, and deepening insolvency. Of the major advisors and accounting firms being sued, our client was the only firm to obtain dismissal.
- Obtaining a rare midtrial dismissal for our client in a $450 million suit in a district court, alleging usurpation/misappropriation of corporate opportunity, unjust enrichment, interference, and breaches of contract and fiduciary duty. Case listed on National Law Journal’s Defense Hot List for 2006.
- Obtaining summary judgment on behalf of a major software firm where plaintiff had sought damages between $500 million and $2 billion, in an action alleging breach of contract as a result of client’s failure to deliver certain software.

Plaintiffs alleged that client engaged in deceptive, unfair, misleading, and otherwise unlawful conduct. Client will be filing a motion to dismiss the third action.
