Wednesday October 30, 2024 9:00am - 10:00am PDT
Bacara Ballroom BC
In 2023, Douglas Kelley won a groundbreaking billion-dollar verdict against BMO Harris Bank for its role in aiding and abetting the Petters Ponzi scheme.  The lead trial counsel from Robins Kaplan, Michael Collyard, will walk the audience through the highlights of his opening statement and how he was able to convince the jury to find BMO Harris Bank liable and win a billion-dollar verdict for claimants.  The panelists will also discuss how the crucial issue of in pari delicto played out in this case, as well as the subsequent appellate review and NAFER’s role in that process.
