Most recently, by way of example, Adam has represented FIGS, a medical apparel company, and its co-founders against Lanham Act false advertising and state law intentional interference and unfair competition claims brought by the main industry incumbent, resulting in a full and complete defense verdict following a three-week federal jury trial in the Central District of California, which achieved American Lawyer Litigator of the Week Runner-Up recognition and designation by the Daily Journal as a Top Defense Verdict of 2022; has successfully represented Wall Street banks and other financial institutions in courts across the country against multibillion-dollar claims, and related internal investigations, arising out of the purchase and sale of complex financial products; has represented a leading private university against putative class action claims alleging false advertising and unfair competition in the marketing of certain degree programs; and has represented a global business services and solutions company against fraud and breach of contract claims arising out of the sale of a portion of its business to a privately held investment firm.
