Purpura Represents Former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone before House Jan. 6 Committee

“I am honored that he placed his trust in me because these were complicated issues in that you have attorney-client issues and separation of powers issues between co-equal branches of government,” said Mike Purpura in an interview with the Daily Journal.

“We negotiated to have his subpoena withdrawn because the executive branch has taken the position for decades that close advisers to the president are not subject to compelled testimony by Congress,” said Mr. Purpura. “Through a lot of hard work and a lot of negotiation with the committee, we were able to solve the problem and still be sensitive to Pat’s role as a lawyer. We protected the direct advice that he gave to his client.”

As noted in the National Law Journal, “Cipollone was present for many of the key events under investigation by the select committee and has been portrayed at the committee’s public hearings as someone who resisted Trump’s more extreme plans to reverse his election defeat.”

Court Confirms $175 Million “Blockbuster” Trademark Win

The decision “affirms one of the largest trademark infringement awards in U.S. history,” noted co-lead counsel John Hueston to Reuters.

Moez Kaba, co-lead counsel, added to Law360, “Arbitrator Isaacs took great care with both the factual issues and the law.”

After a weeks-long trial in April 2022, an arbitrator found, in a 177-page ruling, that Bang Energy does not contain creatine, contrary to VPX’s prominent and false claims. In the significant ruling, the arbitrator awarded Monster and Orange Bang $175 million in damages, nearly $10 million in attorney’s fees and costs, and a 5% royalty on all future sales of Bang Energy (and other Bang products).

The Hueston Hennigan trial team was co-led by John Hueston and Moez Kaba, along with Allison Libeu, and includes Lauren McGrory Johnson, Sourabh Mishra, Brandon Marsh, Michael Todisco, Julia Haines, Justin Greer, Segun Babatunde, and Amber Munoz.
