Kudos to Zunum Aero's warriors at Holwell Shuster & Goldberg LLP, who took on the goliath Boeing, leading to verdict by Federal jury of willful and malicious theft of trade secrets and tortious interference with Zunum's financing: HSG has won a significant jury verdict against Boeing, one of the world’s largest aerospace companies, in litigation alleging the behemoth stole substantial trade secrets from aircraft startup Zunum Aero, Inc. related to the development of electric and hybrid-electric aircrafts. HSG partner Scott Danner served as lead counsel for Zunum, alongside partner Vincent Levy, associates Brian Goldman, Charlotte Baigent, Benjamin Ahn, and Adam Burton, law clerk Rebecca Kelly, and trial paralegals Michael Brestin and Juliette Berger. The jury awarded Zunum damages of $81.3 million for trade secret misappropriation, and another $11.56 million for tortious interference. The trade secret damages are potentially subject to trebling, given the jury’s finding that Boeing’s misappropriation was willful and malicious.
