Zeldes, Needle & Cooper
is regarded as one of Connecticut’s foremost
litigation firms by the most qualified experts
around – other lawyers, who frequently refer
significant cases to us, and choose us when they
need representation.
The following are a few representative examples of
our accomplishments in the litigation arena:
-
On behalf of a
physician’s group, we successfully challenged
under antitrust laws a hospital’s requirement
that intensive care services to critically ill
newborns could be provided only by hospital
employed neonatologists.
-
We obtained
substantial damages on behalf of a French
company in arbitration against a US publicly
traded company concerning distribution rights to
an ophthalmic laser.
-
We obtained
summary judgment for a Fortune 500 company in
the defense of a premises liability claim where
the plaintiff suffered substantial injury.
-
We obtained on
behalf of a publicly traded provider of medical
services and products an injunction preventing a
physician from practicing medicine in violation
of a covenant not to compete.
-
We obtained
summary judgment, affirmed on appeal, on behalf
of a law firm charged with tortiously
interfering with a disappointed heir’s
expectancy under a life insurance policy.
-
We won injunctive
relief against a Connecticut municipality
barring discriminatory enforcement of zoning
regulations against persons with HIV.
-
We won summary
judgment on behalf of a Fortune 500 company
charged with breach of fiduciary duties under
ERISA.
-
We obtained from
the Connecticut Supreme Court a favorable ruling
concerning the usurpation of a corporate
opportunity by corporate insiders.
We also recognize that,
for clients, litigation is a means to an end, not an
end in itself. We staff matters efficiently, and we
strive to avoid unproductive motion practice and
wasteful discovery battles. We explore with our
clients whether the goals of the litigation can be
achieved through more cost effective alternatives
such as mediation.
