Bingham McCutchen, LLP

Balabanian Named Litigation Attorney of the Year
California Lawyer, March 2006 -- San Francisco partner David Balabanian was named Litigation Attorney of the Year by California Lawyer. Balabanian was one of 47 attorneys recognized in the 10th annual award program, which honors attorneys in California whose work has had a significant impact in 2005 or whose achievements will have a substantial effect in the future. The publication cited Balabanian's work for Oracle during its 2005 acquisition of PeopleSoft. "Most lawyers never get to experience a Perry Mason Moment, when a witness reveals a startling truth under oath," California Lawyer wrote. "In Balabanian's case, that moment came during his deposition of PeopleSoft CEO Craig Conway and proved crucial in Oracle's January 2005 acquisition of PeopleSoft for $10.3 billion. "PeopleSoft was attempting to hold off a hostile takeover bid by Oracle, but Conway admitted to Balabanian during a deposition that he made false statements to Wall Street analysts, saying the Oracle takeover bid did not hurt business. He then stumbled over a follow-up question from Balabanian asking whether his actions "amounted to situational ethics." PeopleSoft's board fired Conway upon learning of the comments, and Oracle then made the successful takeover bid, ending an 18-month takeover battle.
