Dispute resolution
Michael Dell, of Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer (formerly Kramer Levin), has strong experience handling complex commercial litigation and regulatory issues for his clients, and his clients often include major accounting firms. He successfully defended Deloitte US against a putative class action which alleged that Deloitte’s operations in Lebanon connected to a fraudulent conspiracy involving Lebanon’s central bank and that Deloitte’s American branch was liable – Dell secured the complete dismissal of the claims, rejecting the plaintiff’s ‘single-entity’ theory. He also obtained the dismissal of lender liability claims filed against Gamma Real Estate relating to the Wade Park development.
