If you simply looked at the recent achievements of David Boies, you’d have the makings of an impressive Litigation Department of the Year candidate.
He helped Oracle Corporation win a $1.3 billion jury verdict against SAP AG (later reduced by the judge); he defeated at trial $4.3 billion in claims brought by American International Group, Inc., against client Starr International Company; he played a key role in winning the landmark gay marriage case in San Francisco federal district court; he argued and won a rare plaintiffs securities case victory before the U.S. Supreme Court; he won a trial ruling for Jamie McCourt that she co-owned the Dodgers along with her husband, Frank; and he handed the National Football League owners an appellate victory that led to a deal with their players that kept the season intact.
