Representative Experience

• As second chair trial counsel, obtained a sweeping defense victory for one of the largest health systems in the country in a week-long arbitration trial. The case involved a securities-related dispute following the health system’s divestiture of certain assets to an institutional investor. Plaintiffs sought millions in alleged damages and asserted claims for breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference, declaratory judgment and injunctive relief. We prevailed on all counts after almost two years of contentious litigation.
