- The firm's lawyers have been recognized by Courts, commentators, clients, co-counsel, and even opposing counsel as a national leader in the area of complex commercial litigation. Mr. Bolognese has served with distinction in such cases, and this has not gone unnoticed by the Courts before which he has appeared.
- Then Chief Judge Donald E. Ziegler of the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, presiding over a case in which Mr. Bolognese and his law firm served as a Co-Lead Counsel, observed that "plaintiffs' counsel are lawyers with extensive experience in antitrust and multiparty litigation," and held "without hesitation" that plaintiffs' counsel had adequately represented the interests of their clients. In re Flat Glass Antitrust Litigation, 191 F.R.D. 472, 480 (W.D.Pa. 1999). The Court went so far as to observe that "[t]he Court is fortunate to have the assistance of able lawyers" to address the complexities of that case. 191 F.R.D. at 489.
- Likewise, in approving the settlement of a significant multidistrict
antitrust action in which Mr. Bolognese and his law firm served as a
Co-Lead Counsel, Judge Broderick of this Court observed that:
. . . the Plaintiff[s] were well served by attorneys who were highly experienced and nationally recognized in class action litigation generally and anti-trust litigation in particular. . . . . Plaintiff Class counsel['s] . . . work was efficiently conducted. Counsel diligently developed the facts and legal issues, analyzed a multitude of documents, were steadfast in settlement negotiations with the . . . Defendants, and, ultimately, achieved an excellent result.
