Experience

• In recent years, Ms. Levin has notably:

  • defended Reckitt Benckiser against claims of fraud and trade secret misappropriation in connection with an over-the-counter wellness product in the District of New Jersey. Following a four-week trial, the jury unanimously ruled in favor of Reckitt on all issues and denied plaintiffs’ claims for nearly $600 million in their entirety.
  • won a stunning victory as lead trial counsel for T-Mobile in a high-stakes contract dispute where the Delaware Chancery Court granted T-Mobile’s request to enjoin Cox Communications from partnering with any mobile network operator other than T-Mobile to provide wholesale wireless services to Cox. Ms. Levin was named a Litigator of the Week by The American Lawyer Litigation Daily for her work on the trial.
  • served as lead trial counsel obtaining a complete victory for her clients, employees accused of breaching their contracts, conspiracy and misappropriating confidential information. Following extensive expedited discovery and a preliminary injunction hearing in the Southern District of New York, the court denied plaintiffs’ claims in their entirety and held that their case “fails as to the facts and the law.”
  • served as lead trial counsel for a major financial services firm in a FINRA arbitration involving claims of improper hiring, breach of fiduciary duty, and theft of confidential information. After merits hearings conducted over three months, the FINRA panel denied plaintiff's multimillion-dollar claims in their entirety and awarded 100% of the damages sought by the employees hired by the client. The favorable decision was reported in The Financial Times, Forbes and Bloomberg.
  • served as co-lead trial counsel in a four-month jury trial, one of the longest in the court's history, in New Jersey state court defending a prominent financial services company against billion-dollar claims of civil racketeering and unfair competition. The court dismissed plaintiff's civil racketeering claims after the close of evidence and the case settled favorably after Ms. Levin's summation while the jury was deliberating.
  • acted as co-lead trial counsel for one of the world's most prominent interdealer brokerage firms in eight consolidated FINRA arbitrations, defending against claims of "raiding," unfair competition, breach of non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, misappropriation of trade secrets and other business torts. The merits hearings spanned more than a year and a half, during which more than 70 witnesses were called to testify. The panel ultimately awarded plaintiffs a fraction of the damages they sought, and awarded significant damages to the employees hired by the client.
  • defended a major telecommunications company against federal and state gender discrimination claims filed in the Southern District of New York. Ms. Levin achieved dismissal of plaintiff's claims in their entirety on summary judgment.
