Accounting Firm Defends Against Historic Securities Fraud Litigation

Our firm served as part of the team defending an accounting firm in one of the largest and most complex securities fraud litigations in U.S. history. Our firm acted as lead counsel in taking the depositions of the audited company’s outside directors, including former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, and represented the auditor in various trial and appellate proceedings, including an appeal reversing an order compelling the auditor to produce work product notes and tapes of jury consultant Dr. Phil McGraw’s discussions with witnesses. In re Cendant Corp. Sec. Litig., 343 F.3d 658 (3d Cir. 2003).
