Litigator of the Week Runners-Up and Shout-Outs

Aaron Marks and Lindsey Weiss Harris were recognized as runners-up for The American Lawyer Litigation Daily's "Litigator of the Week" for their work for Fortress Credit Corp.

"... Jef Klazen and Jeremy Bressman of Kobre & Kim, together with Aaron Marks and Lindsey Weiss Harris of Kirkland & Ellis, secured payment last week on a more than $187 million judgment for client Fortress Credit Corp. against commercial real estate developer Charles S. Cohen. As part of the pursuit of Cohen’s debt to Fortress, the company and its legal team forced the temporary seizure of his yacht in Italy while pursuing other potential remedies in New York, the Cayman Islands and France. In a letter to the court last week, the Kobre & Kim team indicated they intend to continue to pursue cases against Cohen related to a $30 million carry guaranty and an alleged fraudulent transfer of assets."
