Michael O'Donnell

Litigation and disputes; Class actions; Securities litigation, regulation and enforcement; International arbitration

Mike O’Donnell has extensive first chair jury trial experience in cases involving hundreds of millions of dollars of claimed damages. He has also taken the lead in a broad array of evidentiary hearings, including hearings to address class certification, the admissibility of expert testimony, injunctive relief, invalidation of liens and lis pendens, election contests and the validation of public securities. This courtroom experience is essential to his early, comprehensive evaluation of cases leading to successful early dispositive motion strategies, settlement of high-stakes claims and resolution of entangled business divorces without a lawsuit ever being filed.
