Litigation partners Andrew Gordon, Geoff Chepiga and Tiana Voegelin were recognized in The American Lawyer’s “Litigation Daily” column for their trial win on behalf of The Carlyle Group in an earnout dispute in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The team helped Carlyle defeat nine-digit fiduciary duty and earnout claims brought by Suresh Katta, founder of Carlyle portfolio company Saama Technologies.
