• Everly Health Litigation (AAA Arbitration) Served as co-lead counsel to Everly Health, in a AAA arbitration in New York. After extensive discovery and depositions, at trial, Ms. Pachman handled four direct examinations and five cross examinations, including the Lanham Act expert. After the hearing, the arbitrator awarded Everly more than $987 million – widely acknowledged to be one of the largest trial wins that year. The defendant then moved to vacate the arbitration award in the District of Delaware, arguing that the award should be vacated because it is “over three times the largest Lanham Act award in history.” The Court later confirmed the arbitration award in a judgment valued at over $1.03 billion.
