Recent Successes

• We represented two national title insurance companies in multiple actions against the estate of a Connecticut real estate developer to recover millions he defrauded from banks that our clients insured. We obtained judgments totaling over $12 million.

• We were local counsel for a Fortune 500 company, defending a claim for breach of what the opposing party claimed was a requirements contract, seeking to recover almost $2 million. Our legal analysis and research convinced the mediator that the contract was not a requirements contract, resulting in a settlement that was extremely favorable to our client.

• We were local trial counsel for a Fortune 100 company, successfully defending a race and ethnicity discrimination case tried to a jury in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut.

• We represented the owner of a hedge fund and some of its partners in the successful defense of a multi-million dollar claim for breach of fiduciary duty, judgment entering after trial in favor of our clients on all seventeen counts.

• We prevailed in an arbitration for Connecticut's largest residential real estate brokerage firm, successfully enforcing a non-solicitation provision in a real estate agent's contract with our client.

• We successfully defended one of Southern Connecticut's leading home builders, the developer of Rockefeller family properties in Greenwich, in a month-long trial against a tortious interference claim by a former partner.

• We successfully upheld on appeal an arbitration award dismissing claims of a venture capitalist against our clients, who are partners of the claimant.

• We successfully represented a Connecticut municipality in a complicated multi-party construction and environmental case. After extensive discovery and multi-day mediation, we resolved the construction claims and recovered over 90% of oil spill remediation expenses.

• We successfully represented a technology transfer and licensing provider in the defense of an injunction action based on a claimed violation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In a case of first impression, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals held that the District Court lacked jurisdiction to enforce a preliminary reinstatement order under SOX, and that our client had been denied due process during the Secretary of Labor's investigation, resulting in dismissal of the case.

• We successfully represented a municipal employees' pension fund in the settlement of a claim of imprudent management of the fund's investments, which included investment in sub-prime mortgages.
