Amy Hall

Amy Hall represents plaintiffs and defendants across the country in federal courts, state courts, the International Trade Commission, and Arbitration.  Her practice spans a variety of subjects, including intellectual property, complex commercial, business disputes, and mass tort litigation.

SIGNIFICANT LITIGATION

Amy previously represented Arigna Technology in an International Trade Commission Investigation into allegations that Apple, TCL and other major mobile and technology companies infringed Arigna’s semiconductor patent. The case against Apple went to trial in the ITC, where Amy examined several key experts in the matter, including Arigna’s technical expert in electrical engineering. The cases against Microsoft, Lenovo, Motorola, Samsung, Google, OnePlus, TCL settled prior to trial. In another case on behalf of Arigna against Apple, Amy won claim construction at a Markman hearing in front of Judge Albright in the Western District of Texas. She also prepared and defended the deposition of Arigna’s infringement expert and argued key motions, including a Daubert motion, motion for summary judgment, motion to strike, and motions in limine.

In 2025, Amy represented former consultants in a jury trial against Susquehanna International Group, one of the largest outside investors of ByteDance (the parent of TikTok). She joined the case after the close of discovery and immediately helped to defeat the Defendants’ motion for summary judgment and prepare for trial. The team secured a mid-trial settlement on the day Amy was set to present her client on direct.

In 2024, Amy represented an individual who had claims of self-dealing, theft, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of partnership agreement, denial of access to books and records, and other misconduct in an arbitration against his former business partner. Amy took and defended depositions, drafted a motion for summary judgment, and managed expert witnesses. Just before the merits hearing, the parties reached a settlement in which Susman Godfrey’s client won full ownership and control of the companies at issue for a discounted amount, far below the opposition’s expert’s valuation.

Amy represented Live Nation in the widely followed Astroworld mass tort litigation. She handled the depositions of many plaintiffs, treating physicians, and other witnesses, drafted and argued motions, and played a critical role in mounting Live Nation’s defense.  The parties have settled all matters involving Live Nation.

Amy currently represents a putative class of universal life insurance policyholders seeking damages for John Hancock’s cost of insurance overcharges in the Southern District of New York. She also represents a medical device company against claims of patent infringement, which is set to go to trial at the beginning of 2027.
