Akin New York funds litigation partner Uri Itkin has earned a Litigator of the Week “shout-out” from The American Lawyer’s Litigation Daily.

Uri is recognized for securing a significant appellate win on behalf of HBK Master Fund, along with counsel for other investors and Wells Fargo, at the First Department of the Supreme Court of the State New York for a trust instruction proceeding involving dozens of residential mortgage-backed securities trusts.

This victory is amplified because the determination of how to treat deferred principal payments in residential mortgage-backed securities trusts is a far-reaching question that affects dozens, if not hundreds, of similar trusts. Read more on the win here.

The Akin team also included counsel Richard J. D’Amato and Michael Chen and associates Andrew McWhorter and Jennifer Yu.
