Litigation

Anheuser-Busch in an Ad hoc/UNCITRAL arbitration with Grupo Modelo that threatened Anheuser-Busch’s $60+ billion acquisition by InBev.

BlackBerry Limited in obtaining an $814.9 million award in a binding arbitration against Qualcomm Incorporated. The award—one of the biggest commercial arbitration awards on record—represents royalty payments made to Qualcomm in excess of those required under Qualcomm’s royalty cap program.

Boeing in a securities class action brought by a putative class of Boeing shareholders related to Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner. S&C obtained a victory for Boeing and The Wall Street Journal called the decision—which sheds additional light on the already controversial use of confidential informants in pleading scienter in private securities-fraud litigation—“the biggest plaintiff smackdown of the year.”

Collective Brands (formerly Payless ShoeSource) and several of its present and former directors in a securities fraud class action. S&C has also represented Collective Brands in merger-related class action litigations, insurance coverage and trademark infringement disputes.

Diageo and several of its subsidiaries in connection with an SEC investigation into alleged FCPA violations arising from Diageo’s business practices in India, Thailand and South Korea. Diageo resolved the investigation by entering into a settlement agreement in an SEC administrative action. Under the terms of the agreement—which did not require Diageo to admit or deny any of the SEC’s findings—Diageo paid a $3 million penalty, as well as disgorgement and interest of approximately $13.4 million, and agreed to cease and desist from further violations of the FCPA’s books and records and internal controls provisions. Diageo was not subject to a separate DOJ action. The SEC’s investigation focused on alleged improper payments certain Diageo subsidiaries allegedly made to government officials in various jurisdictions. In announcing the settlement, the SEC highlighted Diageo’s “cooperat[ion] with the SEC’s investigation and implement[ation of] certain remedial measures, including…significant enhancements to its FCPA compliance program.”

Fiat in responding to class actions and regulatory investigations related to alleged discrepancies in diesel emissions disclosures and strategies.

Gildan Activewear in U.S. federal securities fraud claims in multi-jurisdictional securities law proceedings in the United States and Canada and in antitrust matters in Gildan’s acquisition of Gold Toe Moretz Holdings Corp., and in arbitration stemming from Gildan’s acquisition of a subsidiary of Ennis, Inc.

Kohl’s Corporation in obtaining the dismissal with prejudice of a putative securities fraud class action complaint brought by stockholders of Kohl’s Corporation against Kohl’s, its Chief Executive Officer Kevin Mansell, and its former Chief Financial Officer Wesley McDonald.

Volkswagen as national coordinating counsel in multinational litigation and investigations stemming from “clean-diesel”-related developments. Volkswagen’s landmark $14.7 billion settlement was granted final approval in October 2016. Heralded by both the court and the public for its speed, scope and practicality, the settlement puts to bed a huge swath of Volkswagen’s civil, regulatory, consumer and environmental exposure. Since the initial global settlement, S&C has guided Volkswagen to reaching multiple other settlements resolving civil and criminal claims with government agencies and private plaintiffs, and continues to represent the auto company in environmental, consumer and antitrust litigation.

It is an outstanding litigation team that drives success and achieves excellent

results. It holds extensive expertise, and zealously defends the client.”
