Irell & Manella

This past year Irell & Manella scored Ninth Circuit affirmation of a win dismissing securities claims against Tesla based on stock drops after several vehicles battery packs caught fire. The firm also persuaded the U.S. Department of Justice to terminate an investigation without bringing claims against former Countrywide Financial CEO Angelo Mozilo under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act. Irell also won a rare securities class action trial in Los Angeles Superior Court. David Siegel, leader of the firm’s securities litigation practice, recently answered questions from The Recorder about how Irell approaches defending securities cases and the firm’s trial chops. Partner Glenn Vanzura chimed in on how the firm is using technology to better serve clients.
