Represented the board of directors of a publicly traded technology company in a derivative action alleging breach of fiduciary duty in connection with a contested acquisition. Achieved dismissal of all claims at the pleading stage, with the court adopting the firm's business judgment rule arguments in full.
Served as lead counsel in a three-week international commercial arbitration arising from the alleged breach of a technology licensing agreement between a U.S. software company and a European enterprise partner. Obtained a favorable award preserving the client's exclusive licensing rights and future revenue stream valued at $180 million over the remaining term.
Led the defense of a regional financial services firm through an eleven-week jury trial following SEC referral and a parallel private class action. The trial involved over 120 witnesses and more than 8,000 exhibits. The jury returned a defense verdict on all counts; the class action was subsequently settled on terms favorable to the client.
Advised the acquirer in a high-value strategic acquisition when a material HSR issue emerged mid-transaction. Designed and negotiated a structural remedy that satisfied the regulatory concern, preserved the economic terms of the deal, and enabled the transaction to close without delay — protecting a business combination that strategic advisors had considered in jeopardy.
Represented the founder and CEO of a technology company against his co-founder following an attempted wrongful dilution of equity and improper board removal. Following a four-week trial, the jury returned a verdict of $95 million on breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and unjust enrichment claims.
Represented a senior executive of a Fortune 100 company during a two-year Department of Justice investigation into alleged antitrust violations. Through proactive engagement with prosecutors, cooperation strategy, and aggressive pre-indictment advocacy, the investigation was concluded without charges brought against the client.
Represented a private equity-backed enterprise services company in an AAA arbitration following the alleged improper termination of a long-term services agreement by a major institutional client. The panel awarded the full contract value of $220 million plus attorneys' fees, finding the termination to have been in bad faith.
Retained on appeal following a $140 million judgment against a publicly traded company in a commercial fraud action. Successfully argued before the Second Circuit that the trial court had committed reversible error in several evidentiary rulings and jury instructions. The judgment was vacated in full and remanded for retrial, which subsequently settled on favorable terms.
