This week’s Litigator of the Week crown goes to Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison partner Andrew Gordon for his win on behalf of hedge fund administrator the Citco Group, which was hit with a $220 million suit in federal court in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Three state pension funds tried to pin the blame for their losses on Citco when a hedge fund it administered went belly-up in 2012. Litigating a series of novel and wildly complex claims in hostile territory, Gordon succeeded in getting the case dismissed on summary judgment less than two weeks before trial was due to begin.
