M&A litigation: defense

The ‘fierce advocates’ at Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP represent companies, funds and their directors in relation to merger-driven disputes, including allegations of breach of fiduciary duties and conflicts of interest. The core New York-based team includes chair of the litigation team Tariq Mundiya, who handles both merger and corporate control matters. Alongside him, Sameer Advani and Shaimaa Hussein co-head the M&A litigation group, tackling merger disputes, shareholder class actions and derivative suits. Mundiya and Advani both represented Sarissa Capital Management and its CEO in a dispute alleging they misled stockholders and engaged in insider trading in the runup to their sale of Bioverativ to Sanofi. Hussein continues to represent officers and directors of Spruce Power Holdings in relation to its acquisition of XL Hybrids, Inc. and the latter’s subsequent share price drop, reaching a number of settlements.
