We're excited to debut a new Q&A format for our Litigator of the Week feature. Our goal is to let the winning litigator tell the story of the case in his or her own voice, and to provide a more personal perspective on the win. Drop me a line and let me know what you think.
It was a tough choice to pick this week's winner. We were impressed by Jordan Goldstein of Selendy & Gay, who led a trial team to victory in Delaware Chancery Court on behalf of hedge fund Mudrick. Invoking Section 220 of Delaware's General Corporation Law, Goldstein succeeded in blocking a proposed merger between Globalstar Inc. and FiberLight, arguing it was unfair to shareholders including his client.
But the crown this week went to McKool Smith founder and chairman Mike McKool. Representing Canadian technology company WiLAN, McKool convinced a federal jury in San Diego that Apple Inc. infringed his client's patents, wrongfully using the covered technology in iPhone 6 and 7 models.
