Representative Matters

Professional sports team—Successful litigation defense

Defended a professional sports team and team executives in a high-profile New Jersey state court litigation alleging a wide-ranging conspiracy among members of the organization to defraud memorabilia collectors by creating fake “game-worn” helmets and jerseys. Secured the dismissal, with prejudice, of nearly all of the 18 claims asserted against our clients, positioning them for an extremely favorable settlement that resolved the plaintiffs’ few surviving causes of action.

Construction company—Third circuit appellate win

Successfully defended a construction company against various claims, including violation of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, breach of contract, theft, and unjust enrichment on grounds of preclusion. The District Court granted our motion to dismiss and the decision was affirmed by the Third Circuit.

National bank—Securities fraud

Defended a top national bank against securities fraud claims filed in New Jersey federal court by an investor; secured dismissal of all claims at the pleading stage on a motion to dismiss. 

Chemical company—Multimillion-dollar award

Securing a multimillion-dollar award for a major chemical company in a binding arbitration arising from a chemical supply contract, successfully defeating claims in excess of $30 million and prevailing on a counterclaim of approximately $10 million.

Solid waste hauler—Dismissal of Sherman Act claims

Represented a commercial solid waste hauler against Sherman Act claims of predatory pricing and attempted monopolization brought by competitors in the Southern District of New York; secured dismissal of all claims on summary judgment.

Investment management firm—SEC investigation

Defended a Swiss investment management firm and its principal in an SEC investigation and against civil claims arising from the liquidation of three hedge funds managed by our clients; favorably settled both matters with no admission of wrongdoing by our clients.
