Representative Matters

    Appellate Litigation

  • Represented Penske Truck Leasing Co., a truck rental company, as lead appellate counsel in a critical appeal for Penske Truck Leasing Co., and other lessors of vehicles in New York.

  • In re America-CV Station Group, Inc., 56 F.4th 1302 (11th Cir. 2023): Obtained reversal from U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit on behalf of three pre-petition equity interest holders who were stripped of their $65 million equity investment in the debtor companies during bankruptcy.

  • Represented SEPTA, a public transport company, as lead counsel in a dispute concerning the constitutionality of the statutory damages cap as it applies to the Commonwealth.

  • Represented Deutsche Bank, an investment banking company, as lead counsel in a Third Circuit appeal that is part of a multi-year, multi-jurisdiction effort to collect on a judgment. This appeal involved Deutsche Bank’s effort to prevent the transfer of partnership interests and a partnership distribution that provided an opportunity for partial recovery.

  • Represented Ammex, LLC, a duty free store selling gasoline, in two appeals in the Sixth Circuit dealing with complex constitutional and statutory issues relating to the interplay among the Commerce Clause, the Clean Air Act, and federal regulation of duty-free stores.

  • Represented Penske Logistics, LLC, a transportation services company, in an appeal to the Pennsylvania Superior Court about applying an aspect of the forum non conveniens doctrine under Pennsylvania law. 

  • Represented Cardone Industries, an auto parts manufacturer, as lead appellate counsel in a Pennsylvania Superior Court appeal from the grant of summary judgement in Cardone Industries' favor in a misappropriation of trade secrets cases; involving a novel legal issue of what evidence was required to establish damages where an alleged trade secret was used in a competitive bidding context.

  • Represented Powder Springs Logistics, LLC, a joint venture between affiliates of Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. and Colonial Pipeline Company, in a “bet the company” case where the court held that Powder Springs is permitted to blend butane into gasoline shipped on the Colonial pipeline because shippers receive the quality of gasoline they were promised at delivery. The filed-rate doctrine barred the plaintiff’s claims because the plaintiff impermissibly sought to expand its rights as a shipper under Colonial’s tariff to receive only on-specification gasoline; the decision is the first to approve of the practice of butane blending by pipelines and will be an important precedent for regulated energy clients.

  • Represented renowned mooncake manufacturer Mei-Xin (Hong Kong) Limited, a subsidiary of Maxim’s Caterers Limited, in obtaining an appellate victory from the Third Circuit, reversing the grant of preliminary injunction against Maxim’s and Mei-Xin after Mei-Xin sought to terminate its distribution agreement with Golden Fortune Import & Export Corporation.
