Litigator of the Week Runners-Up and Shout-Outs

John Del Monaco, Amanda Lamothe-Cadet and Emma Horne received a shout-out for The American Lawyer Litigation Daily's "Litigator of the Week" for their work for client Paine Schwartz.

"... Shout-out to Kirkland’s John Del Monaco, Amanda Lamothe-Cadet and Emma Horne, who represent Paine Schwartz, the former private equity sponsor of Verdesian Life Sciences, and several former Verdesian officers and managers in a lawsuit brought by former Verdesian minority investors stemming from Verdesian’s $313.5 million acquisition of Specialty Fertilizer Products. After a five-day bench trial in September, Delaware Vice Chancellor Bonnie David this week found that the defendants had no reason to commit fraud, and neither intentionally misrepresented or withheld information about SFP’s sales programs nor acted in bad faith in breach of Verdesian’s operating agreement."
