Antitrust

Boies Schiller Flexner excels in the defense and prosecution of complex, high-stakes antitrust cases, and the defense of antitrust and competition-related government investigations, including criminal matters. Our partners have served as lead trial counsel or co-lead trial counsel to some of the most important antitrust cases in history, including United States v. Microsoft; United States v.

Banking and Financial

We represent financial institutions and investment funds in their most important and complex disputes. Instead of following the standard playbook of shepherding clients toward a “market” settlement, we help our clients achieve “better-than-market” results through our unparalleled reputation as trial lawyers, exacting legal analysis, and commercial problem-solving. Our team has litigated the most important financial services cases, not only for defendants, but also for plaintiffs, which gives us insights, experience, and relationships that no other firm in the defense bar can match. We represent U.S. and non-U.S. banks, broker-dealers, insurance companies, trading markets, and investment funds. And as a litigation-focused firm, we are usually free of the conflicts that would prevent “deal counsel” from pursuing litigation. Our clients include HSBC, Goldman Sachs, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas, American Express, and other multinational financial institutions.

Class Actions

When an enterprise is threatened by a class action, it takes both mind and muscle to prevail. Boies Schiller Flexner has defeated some of the most well-known class action challenges of recent years through a combination of sophisticated risk analysis and strength at trial. The firm’s history of representing plaintiff classes gives us an advantage that has proven effective in representing defendants, including Fortune 500 companies, in class action cases involving alleged securities fraud, antitrust, and consumer protection violations. We work efficiently, targeting key depositions and documents to build compelling narratives in the least amount of time—and without ballooning legal fees. When trial threatens, our track record of success in the courtroom serves as an effective spur to negotiation. Our team is also adept at managing parallel investigations and has an outstanding record of success on appeal.

Contractual and Partnership Disputes

When we represent a client facing bet-the-company contractual disputes, we take a direct approach, deploying an assertive, detail-oriented team of litigators to explore every avenue that can lead to success. We don’t litigate to settle. We litigate to win because we know some cases can't be settled reasonably, and because we know the best settlements depend on being prepared to win at trial. Our clients are international in scope and represent a broad range of industries, including financial, real estate, manufacturing, and energy. We won complete dismissal of claims brought by a disgruntled partner of the group that developed the Mohegan Sun casino. We represented the Brazilian financier Daniel Dantas and Opportunity Equity Partners in U.S. district and appellate courts and ICC arbitrations in Paris in partnership disputes concerning ownership and control rights of multibillion dollar companies. On behalf of Florida Power & Light, we won $261 million in damages in an international arbitration in Geneva following the cancellation of a geothermal power project in Indonesia.

Cybersecurity and Privacy

There is no legal challenge today that is more far reaching or rapidly developing than cybersecurity and data privacy. All companies – regardless of industry or size – must collect, store, and transfer electronic data in order to operate effectively in the modern global economy. While that data presents tremendous opportunities for collaboration and efficiency, it also creates an enticing target for individuals, criminal organizations, and foreign governments. We help clients stay ahead of the curve by designing strategies to prevent problems from arising, including assessments designed to minimize risks created by data collection and third-party contracts, and by helping our clients mitigate risk through sound policies, procedures, incident response plans, and insurance coverage. And when privacy and security incidents do occur, we draw upon years of experience in government and private practice, together with our sophisticated understanding of forensics and computer science, to help clients respond efficiently and effectively to regulatory and media inquiries, investigations, and litigation.

Sports Law

Boies Schiller Flexner is the choice for the world’s premier sports organizations seeking counsel in litigation and commercial matters. Our partners have served as lead counsel, co-lead counsel, and trial counsel in major cases pertaining to antitrust law, media rights, and other critical areas, including in the landmark case of O’Bannon v. NCAA. We represent clients at the pinnacle of professional sports, including the NBA, NASCAR, the YES Network, the America’s Cup, International Speedway Corporation, the New York Yankees, and the New York Jets. The firm launched in 1997 when co-founder David Boies represented George Steinbrenner and the New York Yankees, along with Adidas, in a widely publicized antitrust suit against Major League Baseball. The case challenged longstanding agreements between baseball clubs regarding shared licensing revenue; it was ultimately settled out of court to Steinbrenner’s advantage, setting a precedent for lucrative merchandising agreements across professional sports. Since then, the firm has remained at the forefront of innovative sports law that challenges the status quo.
