Our runners up for Litigator of the Week include Faith Gay and Jennifer Selendy of Selendy & Gay for their win on behalf of McKinsey & Co. On Monday, U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in the Southern District of New York dismissed with prejudice four RICO claims by Jay Alix–the founder, 35% owner, and a director of bankruptcy consultants AlixPartners LLP against McKinsey.
The judge also dismissed seven current and former McKinsey employees who had been named as defendants from the case with prejudice, holding that the facts alleged were not sufficient to satisfy RICO’s proximate-cause standard.
