Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges has managed to squeeze out another settlement for Parmalat, the new-and-improved version of the Italian dairy company that collapsed under the weight of internal fraud in 2003. On Tuesday, Bank of America announced that it had reached a $100 million global settlement with Parmalat in a deal that includes a cash and non-cash component.
BofA, which is represented by Sidley Austin, and Parmalat filed a joint motion asking Manhattan federal district court Judge Lewis Kaplan to stay Parmalat’s securities fraud case against the bank, which is one of the many Parmalat cases before Kaplan.
