Litigator of the Week Runners-Up and Shout-Outs

Sandra Goldstein, Kevin Neylan, Austin Norris, Mark Holscher, Ned Hillenbrand, Maisie Allison, Jordan Metoyer and Jamie McLaughlin received a shout-out for The American Lawyer Litigation Daily's "Litigator of the Week" for their work for CrowdStrike.

"... Shout-out to a securities litigation team at Kirkland & Ellis that has been defending CrowdStrike against claims that the company and executives misled investors about the cybersecurity company’s software testing and quality assurance procedures before a July 2024 outage that crashed more than 8 million Microsoft. Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman in Austin, Texas, granted CrowdStrike’s motion to dismiss, going so far as to call certain allegations the plaintiffs made “borderline sanctionable.” This week, plaintiffs counsel filed a notice with the court indicating that they don’t intend to amend their complaint. The Kirkland team includes Sandra Goldstein, Kevin Neylan, Austin Norris, Mark Holscher, Ned Hillenbrand, Maisie Allison, Jordan Metoyer and Jamie McLaughlin."
