Adam Alper and Michael De Vries of Kirkland & Ellis have made a habit of trying—and winning—high-stakes cases as co-lead counsel.

Last week the pair extended their tandem win streak to seven trials in a row by securing perhaps their biggest win to date. After a weeklong trial in Waco, Texas, federal jurors found that their client Samsung did not infringe two semiconductor patents held by Demaray LLC, which was seeking more than $4 billion in damages.
