BME's attorneys are skilled business litigators with significant experience on complex matters. Representing both plaintiffs and defendants, the attorneys at BME possess the insight to analyze cases from all perspectives, allowing them to anticipate legal strategies from every angle. The attorneys at BME have extensive experience and possess a long track record of favorable results in the following areas:
Business torts: BME's business tort cases generally involve suits brought by competitors, partners, employees, minority shareholders, and consumers involving claims such as fraud and breach of fiduciary duty. The firm has had success representing plaintiffs and defendants. In a recent case, the attorneys obtained a $454 million verdict against a Fortune 100 company, the largest in Georgia history.
Class actions: As plaintiff's lawyers, BME represents classes in a variety of matters including antitrust and employment discrimination. Recently, BME obtained a $192.5 million settlement (the largest settlement of a private class action race discrimination lawsuit in United States history) for approximately 2,000 employees of The Coca-Cola Company. As defendant's attorneys, the firm defeated class claims in a major consumer action against our client, including obtaining a reversal from the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit of the trial court's grant of class certification.
Commercial litigation: BME has an outstanding reputation in commercial litigation, which stems from our many successes in the area, which include winning a $454 million verdict against a Fortune 100 company and obtaining a defense verdict for Wyle Laboratories that the National Law Journal recognized as one of the Top 10 defense verdicts of the year 2000.
Antitrust: BME has a long, successful history in antitrust practice. Chambers and Partners (an independent research/survey firm) ranks BME's antitrust practice as number one in the Southeast, noting that "The state's premier litigation boutique also tops the tables for antitrust" and that "Emmet Bondurant is considered by many to be 'far and away the best antitrust lawyer' in the state."
Appeals: BME has extensive experience and success representing clients in state and federal appellate courts, including the Supreme Court of the United States. The firm's appellate practice is in part an extension of its trial practice, devoted to representing clients that the firm also represented at the trial level. A significant portion of the appellate practice, however, consists of handling appeals where a BME attorney was not counsel of record in the trial court. In those cases, we typically work closely with trial counsel to ensure the effective representation of our clients in the appellate court.
