This week's Litigator of the Week crown goes to Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison partner Andrew Gordon for his win on behalf of hedge fund administrator the Citco Group, which was hit with a $220 million suit in federal court in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Three state pension funds tried to pin the blame for their losses on Citco when a hedge fund it administered went belly-up in 2012. Litigating a series of novel and wildly complex claims in hostile territory, Gordon succeeded in getting the case dismissed on summary judgment less than two weeks before trial was due to begin.

He discussed the win with Lit Daily.
