Selendy Gay has once again been recognized as one of the nation’s leading law firms by Chambers and Partners. In addition to the firm’s debut on Chambers' "Securities Litigation, Mainly Plaintiff" category, the firm's Commercial Litigation and Securities & Structured Finance practices, along with several individual attorneys, were named among the best in their respective fields.
“An impressive boutique making significant tracks in securities and commercial litigation.” – Chambers and Partners
Chambers praised Selendy Gay’s “strong offering in commercial disputes” and impressive track record in securities, business torts and antitrust-related litigation. The publication also said the firm “possesses considerable prowess … in disputes concerning financial products,” as well as experience in securities actions in the cryptocurrency sector.
The firm was further recognized for representing private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management in a breach of contract action against the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. Another noted matter was Selendy Gay's representation of Computershare in a putback action against Nataxis Real Estate Capital, which alleged loans in an RMBS trust violated multiple warranties made by Nataxis and that it failed to repurchase defective loans as required by transaction documents. Finally, Chambers noted the firm's work on behalf of a class of purchasers of various cryptocommodities in a bitcoin market manipulation case against Bitfinex and Tether.
Clients of Selendy Gay enthused:
"Their ability to quickly learn complex areas of law is outstanding."
"They are really, really good and talented lawyers. They find real cases and litigate them effectively."
