Litigation partner Dan Toal was recognized in The American Lawyer’s “Litigation Daily” column as a “Litigator of the Week” first runner-up for winning, alongside co-counsel, an historic complete defense verdict for ExxonMobil and three former executives in a $3 billion, exceedingly rare securities class action trial. On May 14, following a two-and-a-half-week trial and less than four hours of deliberation, a federal jury in Texas cleared the defendants of all liability for alleged securities fraud concerning the company’s Canadian oil sands and Rocky Mountain gas operations.
Litigation partners Audra Soloway, Ted Wells, Dan Kramer and Matthew Stachel and associates Amitav Chakraborty, Lyuba Shamailova, Daphne Thompson and Emily Miller were also named in the article.
