Following a lengthy hearing, the Supreme Court of New York (New York County) (Coin, J.) granted today the Firm’s motion to dismiss 15 of 19 causes of action contained in an Amended Verified Complaint brought against our clients, American International Group, Inc., The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York (“US Life”), and Marsh & McLennan Companies. We successfully argued, inter alia, that the dismissed causes of action failed under the doctrines of res judicata and collateral estoppel in that they arose from the same operative facts and were virtually identical to cross-claims brought against US Life that the Firm successfully moved to dismiss in C.I.D.N.Y. – Independent Living Services v. Alan Gerson, et al. Index No.: 651452/2013 (New York County).
