Sean Coffey Speaks at Georgetown Law's New York Alumni Luncheon
January 26, 2007-
BLB&G Partner Sean Coffey
served as Georgetown University's guest speaker at its recent Law Center Alumni
Luncheon, which was held at the University Club of New York City.
Mr. Coffey, a Georgetown Law Alumni, discussed America's competitive
landscape and the implications of the recent push by the Paulson Committee to
scale back recently achieved investor protections.
Mr. Coffey has served as lead trial attorney in two of the most notable fraud
cases to go to trial. Mr. Coffey and his team yielded a record breaking
recovery for investors of over $6.15 billion in
In Re
WorldCom Securities Litigation by
taking the lone non-settling
defendant, WorldCom's former auditor Arthur Andersen, to
trial. In another trial against Andersen, this time arising out of the
collapse of the Baptist Foundation of Arizona
(the largest nonprofit
bankruptcy in U.S. history), Mr. Coffey obtained a $217 million settlement--one of the largest amounts ever paid by an accounting firm
in civil litigation. Mr. Coffey has also served as court-appointed
lead counsel representing investors in
the HealthSouth,
Nortel,
Refco, and
Delphi litigations.
