December 15, 2022 Congrats to Max Grant, Charles Sanders, Greg Sobolski, Brett Sandford, Terra Reynolds, and the entire trial team from Latham & Watkins, LLP on their defense verdict in a patent case in Grand Rapids, MI on behalf of SMR. Although we stipulated to infringement prior to trial, the trial jury decided that the patents were invalid. I have always believed that you can win jury trials by out-preparing the other side, but these professionals, once again, took it to another level. It is a privilege to play a role in this huge success story. Lastly, kudos to the Judge, jury, and court staff for their time and attention.

June 14, 2022 Congrats to Max Grant, Clement Naples, Larry Gotts, Brian Sanford, Greg Sobolski, and the entire trial team from Latham & Watkins, LLP on their $10M jury verdict on behalf of Philip Morris in Alexandria, VA. This was a patent infringement trial between competitors involving some of the technology in e-cigarettes. Max is one of the best in the courtroom, having confidence, poise, and presence like few others can. And the Latham team was well-prepared and cohesive. It was a pleasure to work with these fine professionals and play a role in their success story. And kudos to one of the most intelligent jury panels I have ever encountered (typical of this venue) for their time and service.
