The past 12 months have truly been the high point of my career. Within a span of eight weeks, I led
two separate teams in successful back-to-back merger trials.
In February 2020, I represented Sabre, a global distribution system, which was seeking to acquire Farelogix for $360 million in a two-week bench trial brought by [the Department of Justice].
This began just 15 days after closing arguments ended in the Sprint [case], in which I led the successful trial defense in a merger challenge
filed by 13 state attorneys general and the District of Columbia against the $59 billion T-Mobile/Sprint merger.
Share two trial tips that have been key to your success.
1) Trust your team. No one can do these cases alone. The associates, legal assistants and partners supporting our clients all shared in this success together.
2) Observe a strict no-sugar rule at trial to stay focused—there are way too many cookies hanging around the war room.
