Dewey Ballantine LLP

The Firm: The team gained the legal spotlight for its key role in the World Trade Center insurance case, helping to defeat Larry Silverstein in federal appeals court in 2003. At stake was whether the 9/11 destruction of the Twin Towers constituted one occurrence or two, which would have doubled the amount of insurance money paid. The full-service outfit has proven particularly adept in insurance matters that have spilled over to litigation. Clients appreciate the "terrific" team, which they also hire for disputes concerning antitrust, workouts, banking and other issues. One of its specialties concerns disputes linked to failed financial institutions; for example, the group represents the Resolution Trust Corporation in proceedings relating to a failed S&L. In 2003, the firm recruited Jeffrey Kessler, formerly of Weil, Gotshal & Manges. Having defended Matsushita and JVC against conspiracy claims in the US Supreme Court, Kessler provides added stature to the team's antitrust profile. He also gained fame in the sports arena as an architect of the NBA's free agency and salary cap system. His arrival was on the heels of several key departures to White & Case the previous year.
The Lawyers: Harvey Kurzweil, cochair of the litigation department, was credited with winning a crucial Second Circuit Court of Appeal ruling concerning whether the collapse of the World Trade Center was one or two occurrences. On behalf of Travelers Indemnity, he ultimately obtained a victory for the bulk of insurance carriers, by arguing that the policy's wording was sufficiently ambiguous to hand over the $7 billion issue to a jury. In this case, "he did a brilliant job" asserted a peer. His practice also comprises antitrust, IP, defamation and securities disputes.
The Clients: The MONY Group; Anheuser-Busch; Walt Disney; Unocal; Cumberland Farms; US Surgical and Flushing Federal Savings and Loan Association.
