Nick recently litigated In re MF Global Holdings Limited Securities Litigation in connection with the company’s dramatic collapse on October 31, 2011. Judge Marrero in the Southern District of New York sustained plaintiffs’ complaint in its entirety, and the parties engaged in a complex discovery process involving the production of over 46 million pages of documents and dozens of depositions coordinated across multiple MF Global litigations. Plaintiffs secured settlements totaling over $234 million, resolving claims against MF Global’s former officers and directors, underwriter defendants, and MF Global’s outside auditor.
