First up, a Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher team led by Collin Cox gets a runner-up spot this week for bringing home a $15 million jury verdict for client Maiden Bioscience after the company previously won a $4.3 million default judgment against RBC Life Sciences for breaching a supply agreement. A federal jury in Dallas this week found that while the prior case was pending RBC transferred assets with an intent to defraud creditors. The jury awarded Maiden the full amount of its prior claim, plus a total of $10 million in exemplary damages against three companies that received RBC assets—$5 million against DSS, $2.5 million against Decentralized Sharing Services, and $2.5 million against HWH World. The Gibson Dunn team also included associates Matt Scorcio, Katie Rose Talley and Michael Zarian.

Runners-up honors also go to a Latham & Watkins team that includes soon-to-be partner Samir Deger-Sen who extended the win streak in federal appellate cases he’s argued that we told you about last week. The Ninth Circuit this week upheld a ruling knocking out a Telephone Consumer Protection Act suit against Latham client Meta Platforms Inc. based on unsolicited birthday announcement text messages sent to consumers’ cellphones. The court held that Facebook did not violate the TCPA because it did not use an autodialer that randomly or sequentially generates telephone numbers as laid out in the statute. The Latham team also included partners Andrew Clubok and Susan Engel and associates Greg in den Berken and Peter Trombly.
