Litigation partners Chris Boehning and Dan Toal's article, "Even at High Costs, Courts Enforce Agreements," was published in the February 24 issue of the New York Law Journal. The article discusses the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit's ruling in In re Fannie Mae Securities Litigation in which a non-party was sanctioned for its failure to produce electronically stored information despite the non-party's expenditure of millions of dollars on document review and production efforts.

Litigation associate Joanna Trachtenberg assisted in the preparation of this article.
