Lawdragon chronicles the growth of Susman Godfrey’s New York office and its record of major courtroom victories in a new feature, “King of the Hill: How Susman Godfrey Ascended to the Top in New York.”
The article traces the office’s beginnings under founder Steve Susman and its growth after Bill Carmody arrived in 2007 to lead the New York expansion. Working alongside Jacob Buchdahl, Shawn Rabin and Stephen Shackelford, Carmody helped build a team distinguished by its trial experience, entrepreneurial drive and willingness to share clients’ risk and reward.
Among the results highlighted are Carmody’s work securing a $4.8 billion verdict against the NFL and DirectTV in the widely followed Sunday Ticket Antitrust Litigation, a $425 million jury verdict in privacy litigation against Google, alongside the firm’s $1.6 billion Baha Mar judgment, $1.07 billion Everly Health award and $787.5 million Dominion settlement with Fox News. The feature also spotlights the next generation of New York trial lawyers carrying that momentum forward.
