First up among the runners-up, Stephen Broome and Rick Werder of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan helped their client Len Blavatnik put the final nail in the coffin of a $2 billion lawsuit that Russian billionaire Leonid Lebedev brought against him and business partner Victor Vekselberg. Lebedev claimed he'd been squeezed out of his rightful share of the proceeds of the sale of oil company TNK-BP to Rosneft. But New York's Appellate Division, First Department last week upheld Quinn's summary judgment win finding Lebedev had received his due as part of an earlier deal. John Williams of Williams & Connolly represented codefendant Vekselberg in the appeal.
