A foreign industrial conglomerate
I represented an industrial conglomerate pursuing securities fraud claims for insider trading and market manipulation against a major investment bank.
A hedge fund and its principal
I represented a hedge fund and its principal, independent members of the board of directors of a large publicly traded energy company, in litigation arising from a failed merger.
Eros International
I represented Eros International, a leading Bollywood film producer, in the defense of a putative securities class action.  We successfully argued before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to secure the dismissal, with prejudice, of all alleged securities fraud claims.  I also represented Eros in defamation claims against several hedge funds and market participants that conspired to execute a multi-year short-and-distort scheme against Eros.
MBIA
I represented MBIA, one of the world’s largest monoline insurers, in litigation brought by 18 of the world’s largest banks seeking to overturn MBIA’s corporate restructuring which, with the approval of the New York Department of Insurance (now the Department of Financial Services), established a separate company for MBIA’s municipal bond insurance business. After a several-week evidentiary proceeding, the New York Supreme Court ruled in favor of MBIA, upholding MBIA’s restructuring.  The banks agreed to drop their challenge to MBIA’s restructuring, and MBIA then received $1.7 billion in cash and a $500 million line of credit for its municipal bond insurance business.
The Renco Group
I represented the Renco Group and certain shareholders in the defense of thousands of individual suits brought by Peruvian plaintiffs asserting mass tort and vicarious liability claims related to the operation of a polymetallic smelter.
