Brown Rudnick LLP‘s M&A litigators specialize in tackling cases for private equity firms and corporate purchasers, overseeing cases centering on busted deals, earnout disputes and other breaches of contract. Heading the team in tandem are New York’s Dylan Kletter, and Mark Baldwin, based in Hartford and focused on both class actions and shareholder derivative actions.  July 2024 saw Kletter secure the dismissal of a suit brought by Ordital against Prometheus, alleging that the latter had breached post-closing commitments concerning earnout calculations. Also splitting time between New York and Hartford is Anthony Boccamazzo, who worked alongside Kletter on the Prometheus matter and who frequently defends private equity houses and their portfolio companies in disputes arising out of collapsed mergers.
