As reported in the New York Law Journal, a Golenbock team, led by senior litigation partner Michael Devorkin, won a significant case in the New York Appellate Division. In a decision of first impression, affirming a lower court order, Golenbock convinced the Court that New York's anti-SLAPP law prevents a party who is sued in a case from bringing a retaliatory counter-suit unless it proves at the outset of the case that the counter-suit has a substantial basis, even if the original suit only involved private litigation that did not concern a matter of public interest. Golenbock successfully moved to dismiss the retaliatory counter-suit and its client was awarded its attorney’s fees, which are mandatory under the anti-SLAPP law. The Golenbock legal team also included associates Kelsey Davis and Randi Kira Brown. Read on: https://lnkd.in/emupmT-t
