On Oct. 16, 2013, a Dallas federal jury found that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had failed to prove that Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban engaged in insider trading. That finding was due largely to the efforts of a Fish & Richardson team.

Cuban Cos. general counsel Robert Hart wrote in an email: “Fish came in a few months before trial, quickly narrowed the focus of the preexisting trial team and took over as lead counsel. They did a tremendous job with trial strategy, working with cocounsel and witnesses, and presented our defense in a very straightforward, transparent and convincing way.”
