Disputes & Trials.
Bet-the-company litigation, carried to judgment.
The work — Contested commercial litigation in the federal courts, the Delaware Court of Chancery and the Commercial Court in London. We are a trial practice. Every matter is built to a record we are willing to put in front of a jury, whether or not it ever reaches one.
What we cover — Multi-district antitrust class actions and opt-out claims. Securities fraud, shareholder derivative and appraisal litigation. Commercial contract and earn-out disputes, including post-closing indemnity claims. Trade-secret theft and restrictive-covenant enforcement. False Claims Act qui tam defense. Emergency injunctive relief and expedited proceedings.
How we work — Case theory is drafted before discovery opens, so that every motion afterwards points somewhere. In class actions we treat Rule 23 as the merits: the plaintiffs’ expert is challenged on a record assembled to break the methodology, before certification briefing closes rather than after. The partner who takes the depositions prepares the witnesses and stands at the lectern. There are no hand-offs on the courthouse steps.
Recent matter — A Fortune 100 wholesale energy producer in a consolidated class action alleging five years of index manipulation. Certification denied on predominance. The plaintiffs’ econometric model excluded in the same order. Dismissed with prejudice.
