Tell us about your biggest trial win from January 2018 through June 2019 and how you achieved the result for your client.

We represented Teva Pharmaceuticals in a patent case brought by Swedish drug manufacturer Orexo in the [U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware]. Orexo accused Teva of infringing a patent through sales of a generic drug and sought in excess of $41 million in damages. The case was tried before a jury and included testimony from 10 expert witnesses in a number of areas and fact witnesses from each of the parties. The jury found Teva not liable.

Share two trial tips that have been key to your success.

1) First, put together a strong team. Litigation is a team sport and without a strong team you likely will not win.

2) Second, self-edit. Pursue only your best theories before a jury. You may have others and they may be good, but juries have a limited capacity to process, particularly in a short trial on a complex subject.
