Shout-out to a Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher team led by James Fogelman and Gabriel Herrmann. Last week, U.S. District Judge Dale Ho in Manhattan dismissed a guaranty-enforcement action against their clients, Gregg Schenker and Steven Hornstock, that was brought in connection with a $23.5 million commercial real estate loan. On top of the dismissal, the judge also hit the plaintiff, Cerco Bridge Loans 6 LLC, and its counsel at Fox Rothschild with sanctions of more than $28,000 and $67,000, respectively, after Cerco CEO Peter Cervinka failed to appear at two depositions.
The Gibson Dunn team on the matter includes partners Drew Flowers and Matthew Kahn and associates Diane Chan, Michael Klurfeld, Ritchie Vaughan and Hayato Watanabe.
