Work highlights
In AIG Financial Products Corporation (AIGFP) v. Lee Arthurs et al., J.S. Held delivered high‑impact expert support to 46 former AIGFP employees by conducting a sophisticated, multi‑year forensic and economic analysis of AIGFP’s operations and over $35B USD in transactions tied to the company’s 2008 restructuring and 2022 bankruptcy, producing multiple expert reports and providing testimony that clarified complex financial mechanisms, quantified substantial deferred‑compensation damages, and equipped the plaintiffs with decisive, evidence‑driven insights now before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
