On September 3, 2020, The Am Law Litigation Daily published an interview with Wilson Sonsini partner Caz Hashemi, the firm's litigation department chair, in its monthly Q&A with litigation leaders from the biggest firms across the country.
Based in the firm's Palo Alto office, Caz's practice is a mix of work on SEC, government, and internal investigations for companies, boards and special committees, individual representations in similar matters, and work on securities class actions, shareholder derivative lawsuits, and stockholder litigation demands.
In the Q&A, Caz shares more about his life -- beyond his online bio -- and discusses the firm's litigation department, now comprising over 200 attorneys, at length. He describes the group's goals and priorities, biggest wins in the last year (including representation of Forescout Technologies in the Delaware Court of Chancery in relation to the company's agreement with Advent International to amend the terms of a $1.43 billion transaction; a series of IP litigation victories for Mylan Pharmaceuticals; and a key win for Impossible Foods in a global trademark dispute against Nestle), and potential for department expansion, among other topics.
