Litigator of the Week Runners-Up and Shout-Outs

Dale Cendali, Joshua Simmons, Miranda Means, Yungmoon Chang, Jeremy King and Allyn Belusko received a shout-out for The American Lawyer Litigation Daily's "Litigator of the Week" for their work for Thomson Reuters. The team previously received “Litigator of the Week” honors after a win for Thomson Reuters in this case in 2025.

"... Shout-out to litigators at Kirkland & Ellis, who have already landed Litigator of the Week honors twice during the firm’s representation of Westlaw owner Thomson Reuters in its antitrust and copyright showdown with AI-backed upstart Ross Intelligence. Last week the firm secured another key victory for Thomson Reuters in an interlocutory appeal at the Third Circuit, which upheld rulings finding that Westlaw’s headnotes were copyrightable and that ROSS’s use of them to train its competing AI-powered legal research platform was not fair use. The Kirkland team was led by partners Dale Cendali, Joshua Simmons, Miranda Means, Yungmoon Chang and associates Jeremy King and Allyn Belusko."
