The firm

A majority of Sullivan & Cromwell’s more than 200 litigators are based out of its New York office. The international powerhouse also boasts smaller groups based out of the firm’s offices in Silicon Valley and the District of Columbia. Maintaining a strong general commercial practice, the litigation team is especially able in antitrust, securities and white-collar criminal work. Also commended is the international arbitration practice, with eight offices outside the US.

High-profile clients include Barclays and Goldman Sachs, which the Sullivan & Cromwell team represents in historical securities matters. Other representative clients include Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft and Morgan Stanley.

Litigation stars

Noted not only for his general commercial work but also for his grasp on white-collar criminal and securities matters, New York partner Gandolfo DiBlasi enjoys a “superb” reputation at the firm for his strength in financial services litigation. He successfully

represented client Goldman Sachs in a securities litigation matter and is currently handling another matter in Missouri. Robert Giuffra Jr is also praised for his general commercial work based out of New York. As coordinator of the firm’s securities litigation practice and co-head of the business development group, he maintains a hearty client base including such important names as Exxon, Goldman Sachs and Philips Electronics. He successfully represented UnitedHealth Group in a contract litigation matter as well.

Karen Patton Seymour heads the firm’s criminal defense and investigations group, with experience in securities fraud, money laundering, insider trading and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations. Partner

Samuel Seymouris also well-versed in white-collar criminal work, with experience handling government investigations on behalf

of The Bank of New York, Spiegel and Bankers Trust Company. Partners James Carterand Joseph Neuhausare both praised for their expertise in international litigation. Carter coordinates the firm’s international arbitration group and is the former head of the intellectual property team. He boasts more than 35 years of arbitration experience, including work for Cameco and Instinet. Commercial litigation on an international level is Neuhaus’ forte. He recently represented longtime firm client Microsoft in a three-month antitrust jury trial in Iowa, ending in a favorable settlement for his client. However, he remains an expert in Latin American matters, also coordinating the international arbitration group.

Since 1980, partner Yvonne Quinnhas been a firm stalwart. As coordinator of the antitrust practice, she represents and advises clients in a number of industries, including publishing, finance, television and advertising. While maintaining an active litigation practice,

David Tulchin specializes in antitrust, contract, patent, trademark and securities matters, with a client base including American

Express, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Microsoft. Noted for his work in general litigation, but also for a specific strength in antitrust, John Warden maintains a strong client list that includes British Airways, Goldman Sachs and Amax. Steven Holley’s practice focuses on antitrust, but also encompasses intellectual property and securities litigation.

Experience

Although the firm boasts smaller numbers than other New York firms, no one disputes the litigation experience the Sullivan & Cromwell team has brought to the table. “Sullivan & Cromwell takes on very complex cases, bigger types of litigation,” one insider says. Besides his work for UnitedHealth, Giuffra also represents

UBSin a securities class action in the Northern District of Alabama, in a derivative action in

Alabama state court and in government investigations arising out of UBS’ role as former lead investment banker for HealthSouth. DiBlasi is praised for his work with Goldman Sachs. He successfully reversed a class certification in a dot-com securities litigation matter for his client in the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

In a matter for Microsoft, the firm recently represented its client in an antitrust dispute in Iowa. Plaintiffs alleged that Microsoft unlawfully monopolized the markets through anticompetitive conduct in violation of the Iowa Competition Act, prompting them to recover damages in excess of $450 million. The case was brought as a class action on behalf of all Iowa residents who were indirect purchasers of operating systems and business productivity applications and ended in a favorable settlement.

The firm represents BPin the settlement of Department of Justice and Commodity Futures Trading Commission investigations of alleged commodities manipulation. A deferred prosecution agreement with the DOJ was entered, as was a consent order with the CFTC. In its representation of The Bank of Nova Scotia in an action brought by 122 former shareholders of Grupo Financiero Inverlat, the firm is battling allegations of breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation and a slew of other charges against its client. Damages are currently in excess of $100 million.

In continued representation of Barclaysin the Enron securities class action, the firm is involved in one of the largest and most complex securities class actions in history. The district court ruled that the plaintiffs’ claims against Barclays were deficient and the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed the class certification order. Recently, the US Supreme Court denied the plaintiffs’ petition for review of the Fifth Circuit’s decision.

Other clients of note include Dyson, Philips Electronicsand Solvay. The firm represents the latter in response to the European Commission’s crackdown on alleged price-fixing cartel of producers of hydrogen peroxide and sodium perborate in Europe. Most lawsuits were consolidated as direct purchaser and indirect purchaser class actions, under the Sherman Act and various state laws, in US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Sullivan & Cromwell is widely known for handling the highest-profile and most complex matters before courts, arbitration panels and regulators in jurisdictions around the world, including many representations and investigations that have never become public.

Highlights of the firm’s litigation work

In 2007 and 2008, our firm’s litigators continued to work on a wide range of challenging assignments, spanning our global practice and assisting our clients in the successful resolution of a number of important and precedent-setting matters. S&C has continued to defend successfully Barclays in the Enron securities class action, widely considered to be the largest and most complex securities class action in history. Despite settlements by several other financial institutions involved in the action totalling in excess of $6.6 billion, our firm pursued, on behalf of Barclays, the dismissal of plaintiffs’ claims. Our defense strategy proved highly successful: the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed the class certification order and the US Supreme Court denied plaintiffs’ petition for review of the Fifth Circuit’s decision.

S&C continues to handle significant securities litigation work on behalf of many of the world’s leading financial institutions and corporations, including representing Goldman Sachs and the 55 underwriter investment banks in In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, one of the most intricate and long-running securities litigation matters in history, UBS in class action and derivative litigation arising out

of UBS’s role as lead investment banker for HealthSouth, BP in derivative and class action litigation arising out of the shutdown of the Prudhoe Bay oilfield in 2006 and CA, Inc in shareholder litigation arising out of the alleged accounting misconduct by prior management.

S&C is representing a number of financial institutions and other clients in matters arising out of the subprime lending crisis. We represent UBS in both international regulatory matters and private litigation relating to UBS’s recently announced losses in securities related to US residential sub-prime mortgages, in a putative securities class action brought by certain purchasers of UBS common stock on worldwide exchanges and in a number of regulatory inquiries and investigations related to UBS’s subprime losses and disclosures. We also represent Moody’s Investors Service, Inc in putative class actions brought by Moody’s stockholders claiming that Moody’s and several of its executives violated federal securities law by failing to disclose that the agency’s subprime ratings were allegedly inflated and officers and directors of JPMorgan Chase named in derivative litigation relating to subprime assets.

Other notable representations

BP in the settlement of US DOJ and CFTC investigations of alleged commodities manipulation, including entering into a deferred prosecution agreement with the DOJ and a consent order with the CFTC.
