D.C. Court of Appeals Reaffirms Constantine Cannon Victory in Law Firm Partnership Dispute
The District of Columbia Court of Appeals has reaffirmed its ruling in favor of Constantine Cannon in the law firm’s representation of partner Douglas Rosenthal against his former law firm.
The Court of Appeals denied the petition for rehearing filed by Mr. Rosenthal’s former law firm, which asked the court to change its ruling affirming the jury's verdict that Mr. Rosenthal's old firm had breached its duty of good faith to Mr. Rosenthal by failing to fairly compensate him for outstanding results, including successfully representing families of terrorist victims in a groundbreaking lawsuit against Libya and his role in successfully representing Sun Microsystems in its antitrust litigation against Microsoft. The court disposed of the petition for rehearing with an amended decision that reaffirmed the jury verdict and Mr. Rosenthal’s right to damages for the full two-year period of his last contract with his old firm.

Constantine Cannon Wins Appeal in Law Firm Partnership Dispute
Constantine Cannon has won its appeal of a lower court's decision in partner Douglas Rosenthal's lawsuit against his former law firm.
The District of Columbia Court of Appeals affirmed a jury verdict finding that Mr. Rosenthal's former law firm had breached its duty of good faith to Mr. Rosenthal by failing to fairly compensate him for outstanding results, including successfully representing families of terrorist victims in a groundbreaking lawsuit against Libya and his role in successfully representing Sun Microsystems in its antitrust litigation against Microsoft.
Finding that the evidence at trial supported a "sizable award of damages" to Mr. Rosenthal, the Court of Appeals reinstated damages awarded by the jury, which the trial court had improperly reduced, and even gave Mr. Rosenthal the option of seeking a new trial solely on damages. The appellate court also vacated the jury's award of counterclaim damages against Mr. Rosenthal.

On December 8, 2009, Constantine Cannon announced the payment of approximately $1.1 billion to U.S. retailers as part of the final large scale distribution of settlements funds in the 2003 class action lawsuit against Visa and MasterCard over their signature debit cards.

Constantine Cannon LLP announces that, in a pro bono representation that concerned unpaid wages claims that was led by Constantine Cannon attorney, Reiko Cyr and attorneys from the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF), full judgment for the plaintiff client was awarded by the Court. That client, Mrs. Sun Ja Yi, 65, worked 60 hours a week as a chef for a popular dance club without receiving overtime or spread of hours pay. Constantine Cannon and AALDEF sued on her behalf and succeeded in obtaining both payment for her unpaid wages as well as legal fees (which were provided in full to AALDEF) in the amount of $35,000.
Constantine Cannon partner Douglas Rosenthal selected by Law & Politics as a Washington, D.C. Super Lawyer for 2007.
