Spitz has recently acted on the claimant side of several high-value collective action proceedings against financial services companies.
Strengths
He's delightful to work with and a very good cross-examiner. He's very calm in court and he does the prep. He's a real asset to have on the team.
He's very good at competition law. He has impeccable judgement and chooses shots well. He's the full package, really.
He is great - really clever and very measured, with a nice advocacy style. His cross-examination is brilliant; he has a silent assassin approach.
