FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHT SIDE
Girardi | Keese has handled numerous business cases
over the years, ranging from antitrust actions to breach
of contract and breach of fiduciary duty. Its lawyers’
skill in presenting and arguing cases before juries and
arbitrators has given Girardi | Keese an unparalleled
level of success among firms that regularly try cases.
The entertainment business is the business of Southern
California, so it’s no surprise that Girardi | Keese works
at the cutting edge of entertainment law.
Leveling the playing field is the firm’s great contribution
to business litigation. By representing individuals,
partnerships and companies on a contingent-fee
basis, those who have had their ideas stolen can
retain outstanding attorneys like Tom Girardi, Graham
LippSmith and Howard Miller. “Our goal at Girardi |
Keese is to provide justice to our clients, and that won’t
occur unless we give clients access to the courts through
the contingent fee,” says Miller, the former State Bar of
California president who argued Montz.
Similarly, Girardi | Keese represents consumers in
a class action price-fixing case against off-shore
television screen manufacturers. Spearheaded by Bob
Finnerty, the firm has secured nearly $500 million
in settlements from the Asian manufacturers of flat
panel screens. Finnerty also assisted Girardi | Keese’s
Chris Aumais to obtain one of the firm’s largest
single-plaintiff arbitration—an amount that topped
$58 million. They represented a New York media
group that was defrauded by a former partner out of
millions of dollars. The conspiracy to rip off American
consumers combines elements Girardi | Keese loves
in a case: high stakes, a righteous cause and the
opportunity to make a difference for the better.
