Litigator of the Week Runners-Up and Shout Outs

Partners Dale Cendali and Josh Simmons and their team were recognized as runners-up for The American Lawyer Litigation Daily's "Litigator of the Week" for their work for Astronics Test Systems. Partners Yvonne Beeler, Yimeng Dou, Yan-Xin Li and Miranda Means and associates Julien Jean-George Crockett, Nick Teleky and Josh Berlowitz were also highlighted.

"... Dale Cendali, Joshua Simmons and their team at Kirkland & Ellis got a summary judgment win for client Astronics Test Systems knocking out a copyright infringement claim from Teradyne—the sole remaining claim in an intellectual property dispute between the two defense contractors. U.S. District Judge George Wu in Los Angeles last week found that Astronics’ use of Teradyne’s copyrighted declaring code in its automated testing equipment constituted fair use. The Kirkland team also included partners Yvonne Beeler, Yimeng Dou, Yan-Xin Li and Miranda Means, along with associates Julien Jean-George Crockett, Nick Teleky and Josh Berlowitz."
