Representative Matters  

• Represented Boeing and two of its senior executives in a securities fraud class action.  After Boeing won dismissal with prejudice in the district court, the court of appeals found that plaintiffs’ counsel had made “confident assurances in their complaints about a confidential source . . . even though none of the lawyers had spoken to the source,” and accused plaintiffs’ counsel of “ostrich tactics” for failing to inquire with their source. The court also recognized that plaintiffs’ counsel had engaged in similar misconduct in other cases, holding that “[r]ecidivism is relevant in assessing sanctions” on remand.  See City of Livonia Employees’ Retirement System v. The Boeing Company, Nos. 12-1899 and 12-2009, --- F.3d ---- (7th Cir. March 26, 2013).  Read the opinion here.
