A SAMPLE OF NOTABLE ATS CASES

Dubbed the civil trial of the century, the family of Michael Jackson sued the mega concert promoter AEG Live for over $1 billion dollars.  The plaintiff alleged that AEG was responsible for the death of Michael Jackson, due to Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, being hired to be part of Jackson's concert tour.  A verdict for the plaintiff would not only have been potentially financially devastating, but it would have also set up future liability for all concert promoters.  ATS worked closely with the defense team to ensure a complete defense verdict. 

Amgen, one of the world's pharmaceutical leaders, filed a lawsuit claiming patent infringement against the defendants.  The litigation involved a new groundbreaking cholesterol drug and the potential for billions of dollars in future sales.  Because of the complexity of the issues in the case, ATS worked with Amgen and Amgen experts to help them testify in a way that jurors could understand and digest very complicated scientific testimony.  Research and trial strategy resulted in the jury finding for the plaintiff, Amgen.   

ATS helped tech giant Apple defend itself against a claim of patent infringement by NetAirus Technologies.  NetAirus Technologies claimed that Apple had infringed on its patent, regarding parts of Apple's iPhone.   ATS worked closely with the Apple team to create strategies that would allow a jury to understand the complex issues relating to patent infringement.  The end result was a complete defense verdict for Apple.  

Ernest Rady is a billionaire and philanthropist who has donated millions of dollars to charities, such as Children's Hospital in San Diego, which is named after him.  He was sued by members of his family for $200 million, over an alleged deal to buy them out of his company, American Assets, Inc.  ATS research and trial strategy helped bring a complete defense verdict for our trial team and Mr. Rady.
