A formidable advocate in complex securities litigation

Our company retained David Battaglia at Gibson Dunn to defend a challenging shareholder class action lawsuit. With 38 years of deep experience, particularly in securities litigation as his recognition indicates, he was the steady hand we needed. His strategic approach, honed from his antitrust and appellate practice background, was immediately evident. He didn't just react to the complaint; he built a comprehensive defense that considered every potential motion and appeal pathway. His analysis of the securities fraud allegations was incisive, and his guidance through the mediation process was masterful, leading to a very favorable settlement. While his billing rates reflect his stature and the firm's premium position, which is understandable, there were occasional delays in receiving draft documents from his team, requiring a follow-up. That said, having David's intellect and courtroom-tested judgment on our side was invaluable. He is a true counselor who sees the entire legal chessboard, and I would confidently recommend him for the most complex business disputes.
