Mintz Member and Chair of the firm’s Environmental Law Practice Jeff Porter authored a Law360 Expert Analysis column examining the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps)’ most recent proposed definition of "Waters of the United States." In the article, Mr. Porter discussed the legal challenges EPA, the Corps, and property owners face going forward.

Mintz Members Peter Cuomo and Adam Samansky and Associate Joseph Rutkowski were quoted in an article published by Law360 on the potential implications of the Federal Circuit’s recent ruling in Celgene Corp. v. Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., which cemented a prior decision in Valeant v. Mylan holding that patent suits against generic drugmakers must be filed where the company is incorporated or where it performed actions related to its Abbreviated New Drug Application.

The New York Law Journal reported that Mintz secured a complete trial victory for investment banker Richard Swift before a Suffolk County jury. After a seven-day trial, it took the jury only an hour-and-a-half to return a verdict for the firm's client, Mr. Swift, for the full amount of the $2.57 million in damages that he was seeking in his lawsuit against the former “Today Show” correspondent Jill Rappaport over a log house built on a Water Mill estate. The article included commentary from Mintz Managing Member Bob Bodian, who led the firm’s litigation team representing Mr. Swift, along with lead trial attorney Member Jason P.W. Halperin. Mintz associates Todd Rosenbaum and Iris Greenquist, as well as co-counsel Eileen Powers, also played critical roles at the trial, which ended on November 19.
