Representative Matters

  • Represented pharmaceutical company in multi-million-dollar dispute with counterparty and achieved favorable settlement for client.

  • Represented Huntington Way Associates, the minority owner of the Red Roof Inn hotel chain, in multi-forum litigation against the majority owner, affiliates of Westmont Hospitality Group, regarding an approximately $25 million American Arbitration Association award in Huntington’s favor. The Delaware Court of Chancery granted Huntington’s motion for summary judgment confirming the award and rejected Westmont’s cross-motion seeking vacatur.

  • Defended publicly traded financial institution in SEC investigation concerning investments in commercial mortgage-backed securities, helping to obtain resolution which the client found favorable.

  • Represented independent trustees in a series of class action litigation and government investigations relating to a large securities fraud matter.

  • Represented eight former U.S. national security officials – including two former ambassadors – in filing an amicus brief with the United States Supreme Court in support of the petition for a writ of certiorari by the plaintiffs in Bartlett v. Baasiri, 23-568. Alleging that a foreign knowingly supported Hezbollah by laundering billions on its behalf, plaintiffs sued a then-private bank under the Anti-Terrorism Act and the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act. Following the bank’s liquidation and nationalization, it moved to dismiss Bartlett on the ground that it had become an instrumentality of a foreign government and thus immune under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. The petition presents the question whether a defendant’s status as an instrumentality of a foreign state is determined at the time of the filing of the complaint or at any time after a suit is filed.
