can arise.

and a treble damages award from the court, resulting in $61.3 million judgment against DISH Network for 
thousands of telemarketing calls placed to numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry in violation of 
the TCPA; co-led the trial team, and argued the appeal resulting in a complete affirmance by the US Court 
of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. The class, led by class representative Dr. Thomas Krakauer of Bahama, 
North Carolina, alleged Dish was liable for more than 51,000 telemarketing calls placed by a defunct DISH 
dealer to persons whose telephone numbers were on the National Do Not Call Registry.

W. Va.) – The firm served as co-lead MDL counsel which resulted in winning a $28 million TCPA settlement 
for nationwide class of consumers who received alarm-system telemarketing calls.  
 
Hankins v. Alarm.com, No. 4:15-cv-06314 (N.D. CA) - The firm successfully represented a class of 
consumers in a certified TCPA class action against Alarm.com. Alarm.com agreed to pay $28 million to settle 
a TCPA class action, which involved allegations it sent unlawful telemarketing communications to more than 
1.2 million consumers. This was one of the largest TCPA class action settlements on record.  
 
Desai v. ADT Security, No. 11 C 1925 (N.D. IL) - Served on a team of lawyers that won one of the largest 
ever vicarious-liability TCPA settlements – $15 million for a nationwide class of consumers subjected to

action settlement against Frontier Communications for telephone calls that violated the TCPA by placing 
thousands of illegal telemarketing calls. The class, led by class representative by Diana Mey, alleged that calls 
commissioned by Frontier and placed to them by Virido on the Five9 predictive dialer pursuant to a contract 
between Frontier and Virido using a list of telephone numbers that Frontier provided. The complaint alleged 
that the calling practices violated the TCPA's Do Not Call provisions and the statute's prohibition against 
autodialed and prerecorded calls to cellphones.

• A securities class action involving a private placement of synthetic CDOs against Goldman, 
Sachs & Co. See Dodona I, LLC v. Goldman, Sachs & Co., 296 F.R.D. 261 (S.D.N.Y. 2014) 
(granting class certification); Goldman, Sachs & Co. v. Dodona I, LLC, No. 14-419 (2d Cir. June 
27, 2014) (denying Rule 23(f) appeal). Case settled following summary judgment for $27.5 
million for the investor class. 
• A securities class action against Merrill Lynch resulting in a recovery of $475 million, In re 
Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. Securities, Derivative and ERISA Litigation, Master File No. 07-cv-9633 
(JSR) (DFE) (S.D.N.Y.). This case involved Merrill Lynch’s financial exposures to subprime 
mortgage-related assets, and represents one of the largest recoveries ever under the Private 
Securities Litigation Reform Act. Larry served as Court-appointed co-lead counsel for lead 
plaintiff State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio. During a hearing on July 27, 2009, Judge 
Jed S. Rakoff stated that lead plaintiff had made “very full and well-crafted” and “excellent 
submissions”; that there was a “very fine job done by plaintiffs’ counsel in this case”; and that 
the attorney fees requested were “eminently reasonable” and “appropriately modest.” 
• Outside counsel to one state attorney’s general office in what became a multi-state civil law 
enforcement proceeding joined by several other state attorneys general that resulted in 
landmark mortgage modifications and related relief for hundreds of thousands of borrowers 
nationwide against Countrywide Financial Corp. (and its parent, Bank of America) valued at 
approximately $8.6 billion. 
• Outside counsel in a securities “opt-out” action for the State of New Jersey, Dept. of 
Treasury, Division of Investment in State of New Jersey, Dept. of Treasury, Division of 
Investment v. Richard Fuld, et al., No. MER-L-677-09 (N.J. Sup. Ct.). The case involved the 
collapse of Lehman Bros. The claim was that Lehman officers and directors and Lehman’s 
outside accountant, Ernst & Young, misled the State of New Jersey pension funds to invest in 
an offering of Lehman preferred stock and other Lehman securities months before Lehman’s 
September 2008 bankruptcy. The State of New Jersey Division of Investment is one of the 
largest public pension fund managers in the United States, managing over $84.3 billion in 
assets (as of Dec. 31, 2020) for approximately 800,000 present and former New Jersey state 
teachers, firemen, policemen, judicial officers, and other active and retired New Jersey state 
employees and their families. Following removal and coordination of New Jersey’s action 
with the related federal multidistrict class action litigation, In re Lehman Brothers Securities 
and ERISA Litigation, No. 09-MD-2017 (LAK), New Jersey recovered over $13 million from the 
defendants, representing – on a net basis, after all attorneys’ fees and costs were deducted – 
many multiples above what New Jersey would have recovered from the related class action 
litigation.

• In re Wawa, Inc. Data Security Litigation, 2:19-cv-06019 (E.D. Pa.): I played a key role in 
earning my New York-based firm a lead counsel position, by getting a complaint on file 
promptly after news of the Wawa data breach became public, and by virtue of my knowledge 
of the Philadelphia firms with whom we were competing. I was responsible for the firm’s day-
to-day role in the case, in which a settlement for up to $9 million has been preliminarily 
approved. 
• In re Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount Antitrust Litigation, No. 05-md-
1720 (E.D.N.Y.): I played a key role in earning my firm a lead counsel position representing an 
injunctive relief class of over seven million merchants who accept Visa and Mastercard 
payment cards, based on my earlier experience in the case, and my drafting the firm’s briefs 
in a hotly-contested battle for lead counsel positions. I have since filled a role immediately 
below that of the four co-lead counsel, taking responsibility for formulating settlement 
positions (which involve complex payment network rules) and managing certain dispositive 
briefs. We recently got the class certified, based in part on my understanding of rarely 
litigated issues regarding Rule 23(b)(2).
