Our runners up for Litigator of the Week include a cross-firm team from Hogan Lovells and Boies Schiller Flexner, who joined forces on behalf of a Barclays Bank Delaware subsidiary, Analog Analytics Inc. A New York Commercial Division jury rejected a claim by a travel marketing company that had sought $100 million in damages for alleged breach of contract. The Hogan Lovells team was led by partner Marc Gottridge, and the Boies Schiller team consisted of partners Christopher Duffy and Helen Maher.
Also take a bow Libby Locke and Joe Oliver of Clare Locke, who scored a win for Sarah Palin. The duo were brought in as appellate counsel after the former Alaska governor’s defamation claim against The New York Times was dismissed by a federal judge in Manhattan. The paper ran a (since-corrected) editorial blaming Palin’s political action committee in part for a 2011 mass shooting.
