In 1992, I began representing a satellite broadcaster and served as national lead counsel in virtually all of its high-profile litigation matters, including a $5 Billion lawsuit arising out of a failed merger as well as its multi-billion dollar antitrust lawsuit against a satellite rival, which ultimately resulted in a $26 billion merger agreement with the rival company. Over an eighteen-year period, I litigated numerous complex matters nationwide against Fortune 500 companies involving trademarks, copyrights, breaches of contract, intricate statutory claims, and various business torts with nine figure amounts in controversy. The firm was selected as a Go-To Law Firm in Litigation, as featured in Fortune magazine, by DISH Network LLC (Fortune 200) from 2006 through 2011 and Archer Daniels Midland Company (Fortune 30) in 2012.
