Latham & Watkins LLP

Zach Rowen represents clients in M&A-related litigation, securities litigation, corporate governance, and other complex commercial litigation.

Zach represents financial institutions, corporations, boards of directors, and individuals in high-profile matters, including:

• • Shareholder derivative litigation
  • Merger and takeover disputes
  • Securities class action suits
  • Professional liability litigation

Zach draws on extensive experience in state and federal courts, particularly the Delaware Court of Chancery and the Delaware Supreme Court, and has achieved victories both at trial and on appeal.

Given his familiarity litigating disputes arising from M&A transactions, Zach often provides pre-litigation counsel to clients on the risks of business decisions, including SPAC and de-SPAC transactions. He also has previous transactional experience, allowing him to bring a keen understanding of the full life cycle of a transaction and the subsequent litigation risks.

Zach clerked for Judge J. Gerald Pappert of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. He also interned for then-Chief Justice Myron T. Steele of the Delaware Supreme Court and Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster of the Delaware Court of Chancery.
