- The successful representation of the LJM2 Creditors Liquidation Trust in the pursuit of claims arising out of Enron’s collapse against a nationally recognized law firm and a Big Four Accounting Firm in the U.S. Federal Court for the Northern District of Texas. The resulting pre-suit settlements totaled $8.6 million.
- The ongoing representation of the Cayman Joint Provisional Liquidators of Parmalat Capital Finance and the Joint Official Liquidators of Food Holdings Ltd. and Dairy Holdings Ltd. in the pursuit of claims against Bank of America and Grant Thornton in the U.S. Federal Court for the Southern District of New York related to the multi-billion dollar financial collapse of Parmalat, an Italian-based dairy conglomerate, in connection with one of the largest financial frauds in European history.
- The successful representation of a bankruptcy trustee and a group of 1,100 Latin American investor/creditors in suits brought against Deloitte in the U.S. Federal Court for the Western District of Texas arising out of the financial collapse of Inverworld, a cross-border investment company, in connection with the discovery and termination of an international financial fraud scheme. The resulting settlement exceeded $26 million.
- The successful representation of a publicly traded company sued for approximately $30 million in the U.S. Federal Court for the Central District of California, based on allegations of breach of contract and unfair competition in connection with failed negotiations for a multi-million dollar acquisition. The Court granted summary judgment in favor of Jason's client and dismissed all of the plaintiff's claims for lost profits and expectation damages.
- The successful representation of Dutch-based Rabobank International in the pursuit of various negligent representation claims against PwC Mexico.
