Mr. Ganzfried’s most recent successes include the reversal on appeal of a judgment arising from a dispute in a $100 million real estate transaction. In the past five years, he has won high-profile appeals involving the savings and loan industry crisis, securities class actions, a contract/patent licensing dispute over cutting-edge biotechnology, and one of the largest corporate tax cases ever reversed on appeal.
