Morgan Chu

Chambers USA has described Morgan Chu as “beyond doubt the most gifted trial lawyer in the USA” who “delivers staggering results for clients.” Morgan was co-managing partner of the firm for a maximum two terms from 1997 to 2003 and is presently chair of the Litigation practice group. Some of Morgan’s recent cases:

• Obtained a $2.3 billion final judgment for VLSI against Intel.
• Argued and won a 9-0 U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning a Federal Circuit panel decision on appeals by patent applicants (Peter v. NantKwest).
• Argued and won a 3-0 Ninth Circuit antitrust defense victory decision for Fortress Investment Group.
• Secured a $948 million jury verdict, plus running royalties, for VLSI against Intel.
• Won a $1.2 billion judgment for Juno Therapeutics and the Sloan Kettering Institute for Cancer Research against Kite Pharma (reversed on appeal).

Morgan was lead trial counsel in some of the world’s largest—and, in some cases, precedent-setting—verdicts, judgments and settlements, resulting in actual payments totaling more than $9 billion.
