Evan Chesler Featured by The American Lawyer Following Qualcomm Settlement

May 16, 2019

Cravath partner Evan R. Chesler was featured for his role on the Cravath team representing Qualcomm in its patent licensing dispute with Apple in an article entitled “For Cravath’s Evan Chesler, the Trial That Wasn’t,” which was published by The American Lawyer’s Am Law Litigation Daily on April 22, 2019. The article covers Evan’s strategy for his “rousing” opening statement in the trial, which he delivered immediately before the companies announced a sweeping global settlement, the “strength of Qualcomm’s legal hand,” and how Cravath’s culture of teamwork is an asset in trying cases. The article cites other Cravath partners who represented Qualcomm alongside Evan, including Rick Stark, Antony Ryan, Gary Bornstein, Wes Earnhardt, Yonatan Even and Vanessa Lavely. Evan’s opening statement was also covered by other news outlets including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post.
