| Subject: Press: AmLaw Litigation Daily on Emirates Bank win |
| I'll soon send a cleaner version of this and other coverage, but wanted to share the article just posted in the |
| AmLaw Litigation Daily. A personal thanks to Dan for speaking to the reporter, and Nima for feeding us case |
| documents and insights. |

| A Master at Work: Dissecting the Closing Argument in Latham's Huge Win for Middle Eastern Bank |
| Jenna Greene08/14/2016 |
| For Latham & Watkins, defending a Middle Eastern bank accused of stealing trade secrets from a plucky |
| American entrepreneur could have been a tough sell to a federal jury in Orange County, California. |
| [http://www.law.com/image/LitDaily/DailyDicta.jpg]The stakes were high--more than half a billion dollars in |
| damages--and some of the facts were, ahem, challenging. |
| How did Latham lawyers turn a potentially unsympathetic narrative into a unanimous win for Dubai-based |
| Emirates NBD Bank PJSC on Thursday? |
| A look at closing arguments by Latham partner Kathryn Ruemmler, who made her first in-court appearance |
| since she stepped down as White House counsel in 2014, is revealing in a watch-the-master-at-work kind of |
| way. |
| Along with Latham partners Daniel Schecter and Dean Dunlavey, she faced off against an equally formidable |
| opponent: Boies, Schiller & Flexner partner William Isaacson, who wasnamed a litigator of the |
| year< http://www.americanlawyer.com/id=1202745123270/Litigator-of-the-Year-William-Isaacson-of-Boies- |
| Schiller > by The American Lawyer in 2015. |
| Ruemmler parachuted into the case on May 20, replacing Steven Bauer. He had another case (on behalf of |
| Pacific Gas & Electric <http://www.therecorder.com/id=1202764714611/Split-Verdict-in-PGE-Pipeline-Blast- |
| Case?slreturn=20160712215338>) going to trial at the same time and couldn't convince U.S. District Judge |
| James Selna to push back the trial date, which had already been delayed several times. |
| This was the lay of the land: Two weeks before, the Los Angeles Times on May 8 had run a lengthy |
| feature <http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-infospan-lawsuit-20160508-story.html> that was distinctly |
| sympathetic to the plaintiff, Farooq Bajwa. A former computer components manufacturer/ El Pollo Loco |
| franchise owner, his latest venture was a company called InfoSpan Inc. |
| Bajwa is portrayed as a visionary who had an idea to allow foreign workers to easily and cheaply send funds |
| back to relatives in their home country via the internet or cell phone. |
| "I realized I might make a big difference in this world not only helping these underprivileged people who don't |
| have bank accounts, I will also be helping bring an economic revolution," Bajwa, 64, told the paper. "I had |
| very big dreams." |
