Civil Litigation / Dispute Resolution
Representative Matters
Forty years of practice has taught me that successful dispute resolution begins with identifying what really matters. I cut through distractions, focus on the issues that drive the outcome, and work efficiently toward practical resolutions, whether at the negotiating table or in the courtroom.
Some of the results I have achieved include the following:
- Obtained preliminary injunction in trademark infringement action precluding defendants from using the client's corporate logo.
- Successfully prosecuted complex patent license arbitration through multi-week hearing resulting in arbitration award for client of more than $50 million.
- Prosecuted complex trade secret and trademark infringement litigation resulting in a consent injunction requiring return of all trade secret information and other intellectual property.
- Represented plaintiff bankruptcy trustee in an investigation and prosecution of complex claims in connection with multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme resulting in substantial settlements.
- Represented international law firm in legal malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty case arising out of a high-profile corporate separation resulting in favorable settlement for client.
- Defended publicly-traded client in defamation action by a former employee that resulted in the former employee's claims being dismissed as sanction for failure to prosecute after the Court ordered the former employee to produce the hard drive of his personal computer for forensic examination.
- Represented corporate client in enforcing the terms of a squeeze down provision of an LLC Operating Agreement and obtained summary judgment in federal litigation relating to the same.
- Enforced multi-million-dollar promissory note claims in complex litigation involving UCC Article 9 foreclosure and obtained summary judgment in client's favor.
