We’re continuing our new Q&A format for Litigator of the Week, and had some great contenders for the crown. Our runner up was Antonio Yanez, Jr. of Willkie Farr & Gallagher. He led a team in favorably resolving a $75 million dispute with Netflix on behalf of client Relativity Media. Even more impressive, he was hired on July 5 for a case that went to trial on August 1.

But for our winner, we were swayed by a dispute with $1.4 billion on the line. Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher’s Miguel Estrada and Robert Weigel represented a Canadian gold mining company that had its assets seized by the government of Venezuela. Their client wasn’t the first company this happened to—but Estrada and Weigel were the first to come up with a viable way for them to collect what they’re owed.
