Our client sought damages in excess of $566 million. The case spanned seven years and required overcoming four motions to dismiss, a motion for judgment on the pleadings and two motions for summary judgment. Discovery included more than 60 depositions, both domestically and internationally, and the production and management of many hundreds of thousands of documents. The court granted our Rule 50 motions on seven counterclaims prior to sending the case to the jury.
