Tell us about your top U.S. Supreme Court or federal appeals court victory over the past year and how you and your team achieved the win.

Hewlett-Packard Co. v. Quanta Storage Inc.: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld a judgment for $438.65 million in favor of Beck Redden client HP Inc. This antitrust judgment based on a price-fixing conspiracy is one of the largest civil judgments ever affirmed by the Fifth Circuit. The opinion turned on the sufficiency of the damages evidence, and the appellate strategy included 1) careful application of often-overlooked circuit precedent regarding preservation of error under Rule 50; 2) painstaking analysis of all the record evidence; and 3) a creative alternative basis for affirmance designed to give the court multiple paths to the same decision and inspire confidence about the outcome.
